prayer for the miners...
i found this heart-felt prayer on the sojourner's journey. it was too precious not to share!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Heavenly Father, hearts are breaking today. The families of the miners in West Virginia are searching for your love and comfort. They long for understanding. They feel betrayed. They are hurt and bitter and angry. Lord, in all your wisdom, bring comfort and peace to these families. Father, shelter them with your wings and hold them close to your heart. Surround them with the knowledge that you are in control and draw them near to you. Lord for those family members who know you, reassure them of your love and for those who do not know you, send Christians to witness your love to them. Father we do not understand when a tragedy like this happens but as Christians, we know that you can use situations like this to bring souls to a saving knowlege of grace, hope and love. Hold them tightly in the palm of your hand, dear Lord and never let them go. God, rest the souls of the men who lost their lives and give strength to their families to press on. Father, for the one who is in the hospital fighting for his life, I pray your will be done. Father comfort his wife and family as only you can and fill their hearts with love for one another during this difficult time. We know you never want to see one of your children suffer. We know you are in control. Father, please soothe our spirits and stem our tears. We love you, Lord. Thank you. Amen

Joining with you in prayer...
It is such a sad situation. It's been showing everything non-stop on the news here. West Virginia is kinda a nearby state--well kinda, not exactly sure how far that town is from me. One thing I heard a lot on the news is how the people there we're turning to God the whole time. Even the mayor said that they were all praying for a miracle, and God would be the only one that could help them.
I haven't heard any more about how the one survivor is doing.....just that he was in real critical condition.
Thank you for sharing that.
Thanks so much for your tender heart in posting this prayer. We've all grieved to hear the news.
Also wanted to thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such sweet notes. It blesses me beyond words! {{{hugs}}}}
It's definately a tragedy. News of it has been seen here in England.
