Prayer for Those in the Path of the Storm

I have had trouble sleeping for a variety of reasons.  But the major reason is the major storm that threatens Texas, Hurricane Harvey.

At this point, there's not much that can be done.  But we can pray. 

I found this posted on Facebook, originally posted on the ELCA Worship page:

"We pray for those in the path of Hurricane Harvey:

Merciful God, when the storms rage and threaten to overtake us, awaken our faith to know the power of your peace. Deliver us from our fear and ease our anxiety. Help us to endure the time of uncertainty and give us strength to face the challenges ahead. Give us the assurance of your presence even in this time so that we can cling to your promise of hope and life shown to us through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen."
