Lord, please have mercy. Comfort those who mourn and rescue those in need. When they cry out to You, hear them, O God, and answer them. So many people have died already without the chance to know You. They will spend eternity now apart from You. And so many more are yet in danger of dying. Please, Jesus, make Yourself known now to every person in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and every country suffering from these floods. Meet them in their dreams, talk to them throughout the day. Part the way for Christians to help with rescues, aid, counseling, medical needs, and provisions. Give Christian aid workers favor with authorities, and use them to share Your good news widely. Use this terrible tragedy to bring about a new movement of Your Spirit with millions coming to faith. Move displaced people into areas where Christians can take them in and care for them, showing them Your love and speaking to them the truth about Christ. So many of those, especially in Muslim and Hindu nations, have been cut off from the gospel. They live in fear daily, devoted to religions that cannot save them. Please, Father, step in and save them. Don’t let even one more person die without the chance to know You and experience the joy of salvation and eternal life.
