Prayers for the Aftermath of the Storms of the Past Week


From the Book of Common Prayer, 1662:

The Almighty Lord, who is a most strong tower to all them that put their trust in him, to whom all things in heaven, in earth, and under the earth, do bow and obey, be now and evermore thy defence; and make thee know and feel, that there is none other Name under heaven given to man, in whom, and through whom, thou mayest receive health and salvation, but only the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

From the Book of Common Prayer, 1979:

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your servants, and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs, that those for whom our prayers are offered may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in you loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen

From Enriching our Worship II:

Loving God, the comfort of all who sorrow, the strength of all who suffer: accept our prayers, and to those who seek healing especially all who have been harmed or grieved by the devastating storms of this past week, grant the power of your grace, that the weak may be strengthened, sickness turned to health, the dying made whole, and sorrow turned into joy; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
