“God of mercy, draw near to all who are afraid, grieving, or facing uncertainty. Strengthen those who are in positions of leadership or responding with courage and compassion. Protect those still in danger, comfort those who mourn and guide all who work to bring relief, healing and hope.” We pray for the people of Venezuela, especially all those affected in Caracas.

We hold before God those who have died, those who are injured, those who are still missing, and all who are grieving.

We pray for people whose homes, schools, churches, businesses, and communities have been damaged.

We give thanks for emergency responders, medical teams, local authorities, churches, and community organizations offering help, shelter, and care as survivors continue to be found in the rubble.

We pray for the Diocese of Venezuela in The Episcopal Church and its ministry to communities at this difficult time.

God of mercy,

draw near to all who are afraid, grieving, or facing uncertainty.

Strengthen those who are in positions of leadership or responding with courage and compassion.

Protect those still in danger, comfort those who mourn, and guide all who work to bring relief, healing, and hope.

Amen.
