A prayer for those affected by the Pakistan floods
O Lord,
in the goodness of your constant love,
be with the people of Pakistan
as they face devastating floods.
At this time of great loss –
loss of lives, homes and crops –
may we be filled with your compassion
and moved to reach out in love.
As we stand alongside our sisters and brothers, we pray that
they may find consolation in their sorrow,
strength as they seek shelter and safety
and courage to carry on.
Forgive us, O Lord,
for our part in the climate crisis,
and inspire us all to play our part
in protecting the earth, our common home.
So that together we may build a world
that reflects your glory,
where hope drives out despair
and all things are made new.
