      Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You for giving us another day.
      Lord, be present in our midst as we gather together as a family. We bring our intercessions and petitions before You in one accord for ourselves and for our family & friends.
     Lord, renew our strength as we walk on the path You have set for us. Guide us through whatever course our lives may take, whatever battles and suffering may come to us, for we belong to You.
     Lord, we bring before You the pains of those struggling to get over their traumatic experience of the recent landslides and heavey rains. Hear the cries of the orphaned children and laments of bereaved parents.
     Lord, be their Rock and  their stronghold at this time of difficulty, so that they may stand still. Give them Your protection as they are housed in various places. 
     Lord, our trust is in You whose awesome power and strength fills us and inspires us to be strong in the face of all of life's difficulties. You have not forsaken us anytime. We thank You.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
