Gracious God,
You are our help in ages past and our hope for years to come. In the midst of fires, floods, or natural disasters, we trust in Your steadfast love.
Comfort those who have lost homes or loved ones and those who are yet to know the whereabouts of their family members. Fill them with Your peace and comfort their weary hearts with Your gentle presence.
Bless and protect the front liners: the firefighters, the police officers, the search and rescue teams, the medical personnels, the social workers, and the volunteers. Grant them wisdom, courage, and compassion, that through their rescue efforts, Your love and healing grace will be known to the world.
We pray for the leaders and the people of Hong Kong to be resilient as they rebuild the city. May they respond to the cries of the victims with generosity, protect the vulnerable, and show the love of Christ through their words and deeds.
We pray all these in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.
