Gracious God,
Your word of peace stills the storms that rage in our world.
Bring hope to places that know devastation in the calm after the earthquake.
Bring comfort to those who grieve the loss of loved ones and property.
Let your love be known through those who work to bring order in the chaos.
Help us to shoulder the burden of suffering
and make us bearers of the hope that can be found in you
through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

We mourn the loss of life and ministry of Ben Larson, ELCA Wartburg seminary student in this earthquake. He and his wife led the music at the recent ELCA Global Mission Event we attended:
