Prayer for Haiti
"The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" James 5:16
"Lord, I just want to THANK YOU, because this morning I woke up and knew where my children were. Because this morning my home was still standing, because this morning I am not crying because my husband, my child, my brother or sister needs to be pulled out from underneath a pile of concrete, because this morning I was able to drink a glass of water, because this morning I was able to turn on the light, because this morning I was able to take a shower, because this morning I was not plannng a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry out for the people of Haiti. Lord, I cry out to you, the one that makes the impossible, possible, the one that turns darkness in to light. I cry out that you give those mothers strength, that you give them peace that surpasses all understanding, that you may open the streets so that help can come, that you may provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all that they need in a blink of an eye. For all those that have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, give them courage to continue to go on!! Protect the children and shield them with your power. I pray all this in the name of Jesus." Amen
This prayer was sent to me in an email and it so expressed the feelings of my own heart I decided to share it with you. I find comfort in knowing that Jesus loves these hurting people as much as he loves me and you. I cannot hold these little babies in my arms but He can. Friends, we may not be able to physically touch the people in Haiti but we can touch them with our prayers. Join me today in praying for the hurting people in Haiti.

This is my prayer too. Lord help...
What a touching heart felt prayer. Amen! We have been praying for Haiti and will continue to do so. We also pray they see God's hand at work in their lives! Thank you for sharing the prayer!
Blessings,

So many think they can do nothing but prayer is the greatest thing any of us can do. In the mist of poverty and a corrupt government, God still loves and still moves in mighty ways.
Ohhhh praying this with you. My husband and I watched the news then sat down to eat dinner the other night. We could hardly pray for feeling mixed emotions. We felt such compassion for those in Haiti and we felt gratitude for what we have here.
May we each - out of our gratitude - give and pray.
Beautiful prayer. Heart felt, loving, so on the mark with what so many of us are feeling. Thanks Tiz. Holly
This prayer could not have been more beautiful. The ugliness of the devestation and pain in Haiti needs the beauty of sincere prayers.
It hit me this morning - I'm reading everything you write ahead of time when you email me... I NEED to let you know how much your writing moves me and how God uses you to bless my life.
Love you Tiz!!!
