Prayer for those affected by flooding

Loving God

We remember in your presence all those who have been affected by the recent flooding:

people whose homes and livelihoods have been devastated;

people who feel they have lost everything and don’t know what to do next;

people who fear for the safety of ones they love.


We remember, too, all those involved in bringing help and support:

those who work in the emergency services, sometimes at risk of their lives;

volunteers, wanting to do whatever they can to help;

and the churches in Cumbria, especially those in the Methodist district.


And we remember the land.

As the elements rage, we remember that you have called us to care for your creation.

In the midst of all the confusion, pain, fear, anger and loss may your Spirit brood over the face of the waters and bring hope.

And may your love be known,

through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen

Revd David Gamble, President of the Methodist Conference 2009-10

The Revd Richard Teal, Chair of the Cumbria Methodist District and Revd Rachel Poolman, President of the United Reformed Church in Cumbria ask you to join them in prayer here.
