You listen to the longings of those who suffer.
You offer them hope, and you pay attention to their cries for help. 
Psalm 10:17

Father God, our hearts are with those impacted by the earthquakes in Syria and Türkiye. When the world feels chaotic, and the hurt and fear are unbearable, you are Immanuel – God with us. Sweep across these lands with your presence and your protection. Be a place of shelter for those who face devastation and an uncertain future today. Give wisdom and strength to those who are in leadership. Protect these lands from political unrest. Focus energies on responding to the needs, managing the crisis, and eventually rebuilding communities. Stir those who have resources to contribute. Prompt us to be generous and active, seeking ways in which we can share what you have given to us. As people come to help, let love flow in places that have known trauma and conflict and may there be healing amid the hurt.
