Here's a a prayer for the situation along the Gulf Coast.
Creator God, we pray for the people and your creation that have been affected by the oil spill off the Gulf Coast. Guide those who are called to cope, to clean, to care for damaged habitat and creatures, and to continue to make a living. Grant wisdom to those who plan and strength to those who work upon the sea, in the air, and on the shore to deal with the oil's effects. Lead us all to help. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
