Alleluia! We thank you for the new life of Spring. Reveal your life-giving presence to those who suffer from this week's storms and tornadoes in the southern United States. Console those who mourn. Strengthen those who come to help. Give courage to those who must rebuild. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.

Gracious God, Spring storms rage and cause destruction and despair. Reveal your life-giving presence to those who suffer from this week's storms and tornadoes in the southern United States. Console those who mourn. Strengthen those who come to help. Give courage to those who must rebuild. In the midst of devastation and uncertainty, fill us with resurrection hope that we may cling to hope and experience new life through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
