A mere two weeks after storms and flash floods killed four people on New Zealand’s North Island, four more have joined them in the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle. The storm has moved on, but not before slamming areas like Hawke’s Bay with devastating floods and landslides. Rescue helicopters lifted hundreds of people from rooftops, but more than 10,000 are now displaced. In addition, yesterday a 6.0 magnitude earthquake shook the island.
Lord, please rescue those who are stranded or in danger, heal those who are wounded, and have mercy on those who have lost much. Speak tenderly to them and comfort them. Remind them of Your saving power, and urge them to cry out to You in their need. Then come and meet them in such powerful ways they will know You answered. Bring whole churches to their aid quickly. Provide Christian counselors and those who will distribute food and help rebuild homes. Abundantly bless believers to abundantly bless those in need. As they share of what they have, let Your love, peace and joy shine so powerfully through them the lost will turn to You, even those who have long hardened their hearts against You. Let this be the year that Your rains of righteousness and love fall upon New Zealand, drawing thousands to You. Be the Peace in their storm.
