Loving God,
We pray for all those affected by the floods in Nepal and Tibet.
Be near to those who mourn the loss of loved ones, and to all who wait in uncertainty for news of family and friends.
Hold close those whose homes, livelihoods and communities have been swept away, and all who are shocked, displaced or afraid.
Strengthen rescue workers, local communities, churches and all who are searching, serving and offering care in the midst of this crisis.
Grant courage and resilience to those waiting for news, facing uncertainty, and fearing the days ahead.
As we witness the growing fragility of creation, renew our commitment to care for one another and for the earth of which we are a part.
In the name of Christ.
Amen
