Lord God, we don’t know how to pray.
This immense tragedy feels overwhelming.
Surround those directly involved with your loving presence.
Comfort the families of the dead and injured,
Sustain those waiting for word of those they love.
Protect, strengthen, and uphold
the rescuers and emergency personnel.
Help all of us to remember that your love
is bigger and stronger than despair.
Guide and strengthen us to reach out to those affected
in ways that will bring healing.
Give them and us a sense of your peace and hope.
In the name of Jesus, our friend and healer. Amen.

Stephen Ministry at Westlake UMC
Stephen Ministers are there: After the phone call, after the diagnosis, after the funeral, after the divorce, after the job loss... before the empty nest, before the move. If you'd like to explore the possibility of becoming a Stephen Minister at Westlake United Methodist Church, or if you think having a Stephen Minister would help you at this time, go to our webstite westlake-umc.org/ministries/care-groups/stephen-ministry
