Moderator’s Prayer
Creator God.
You breathe life into all things and made all things good.
Our land, our people, our bush, and our wildlife are hurting and suffering,
We pray for relief through rain. Please soak our land and bring relief with rain from the heavens.
We pray for those who are enduring unimaginable injury and loss through destruction of fires.
Bless them with deep comfort, consolation, and hope in these times where their loss is so keen.
We pray for our heroic firefighters and emergency services who tirelessly give of themselves whilst at times facing great personal loss themselves.
Cover them with your protection and bless them and their families in this time of need.
We pray for our community leaders. Inspire them with courage and wisdom for the decisions that need to be made.
Almighty God, Your people look to you with trusting hearts and the certainty of your love.
With deep gratitude and longing, we ask you to hear our prayer.
Amen.
Rev Bruce Moore. Moderator.
