Prayer point
Pray for search teams recovering victims of disasters
Pray for Government
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4 World English Bible
Reflection
Searching through devastation to recover the deceased demands immense emotional and physical endurance from first responders and military search teams. Exposure to distressing scenes leaves lasting psychological burdens on those tasked with bringing closure to grieving families. Ask God to grant mental resilience, emotional protection, and deep strength to emergency crews working in dangerous waters and heavy debris. Pray that counsel, compassion, and practical care support these workers long after their traumatic assignments end.
Prayer
Pray for those who are going through the rubble and in the ocean looking for bodies. What a horrendous job!
