Comfort

God of all comfort, there is so much suffering in our world that we cannot fathom it all!  Millions are victims of earthquakes, hurricanes like Huricane Sandy, wars between nations and within nations, and those in poverty and sickness cry our for our help.  We cannot do it all without you powerful Spirit guiding us and encouraging us.  Lord, help us not to grow cold and indifferent to all those in need or to give up in despair because of the enormity of suffering!  And as we work for their relief, grant your spirit of comfort on them to uphold them and give them hope for a better tomorrow.  All things are possible in your sight, O Lord - help us to never forget !  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
