Dear Friends,

Prayer for Chile

Lord of all creation,

We pray for the people of Chile, rocked by an earthquake.

We pray for those who have lost loved ones,

and for those who have been injured.

We pray for those who have lost property,

and for those seeking to bring order to the chaos.

We pray for those who are scared,

and for those who wait in fear to see if more damage will be done.

We pray for the Church in Chile,

that it will be a beacon of hope and security for those in need.

We pray for peace and stability in the midst of confusion.

Amen

Please pray this prayer for the people of Chile

Luke.
