A prayer in the time of an approaching storm

   God of the Universe, at the dawn of creation, your Spirit breathed on the waters, making them the wellspring of all holiness. You created the oceans and rivers, and all that dwell within them, and at your word the wind and the waves were born.
   Creator God, we ask you to calm the wind and the waves of the approaching hurricane, and spare those in its path from harm. Help those who are in its way to reach safety. Open our hearts in generosity to all who need help in the coming days. Inspire all of us to be strong in the face of all life’s difficulties.
   In all things and in all times, help us to remember that even when life seems dark and stormy, you are with us. Amen.
