March 29 Worship: Prayers

Prayer requests:
· That the river levels would continue to decrease, the waters quickly recede, and the weather conditions would not bring higher water levels.
· That the dikes would protect people, property, and possessions and that any breaches or leaks would be quickly detected and fixed.
· Thanksgiving for the city officials, emergency and military personnel, residents, and volunteers who have contributed to the fight against the flood.
· For the families who have been separated from one another, displaced from their homes, and burdened with anxiety. That their travel and alternative housing arrangements would be safe, that they would be supported and encouraged in their time of stress, and that the ability to be reunited with family and returned to homes would be imminent.
· That the sense of unity and community would be maintained throughout the river’s crest and into the clean-up and any rebuilding efforts.
· For the residents of the Good Samaritan Center who were evacuated this week. That they would be kept safe in times of transportation and that the stress of a different environment, staff, and schedule would not be detrimental to their health.
· For healing for those with aches and pains, colds, and fatigue resulting from the past week.
· Many, many more requests with specific names that we each can plug in.
