Lord, at times such as this, when we realize the ground beneath our feet is not as solid as we had imagined, we plead for mercy. Do not forget us now. Comfort them, Lord in this disaster. Be their rock when the Earth refuses to stand still, and shelter them under your wings when homes no longer exist. Let us not forget that we are all your children and they our brothers and sisters. We are all the work of your hands. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth. Blessed be the name of the Lord, now and forever. Amen.
