Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still, know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
Abba Father,
The Father who made us
The One who loves us
The One who saves us, over and over and over
The One who changes us
The One who blesses us

We are so grateful we can turn to You.
And we understand Your love, just a little, when we think of our children.

Thank You for them Lord.
Thank You for smiles. For hugs. For laughter. For love pats. For questions from inquisitive minds.
Thank You for milestones. And memories.

We pray for them.
May they only be content in You.
May they grow in You as they grow in stature.
We pray for their future spouses.
We pray for their missions that You have prepared for them.

And Lord, please help them with today.
May they be at peace with You in the face of their failures.
May they find strength in You when they need to run the race.
May they find love in You when they are lonely.
May they find light in You when they feel lost.

We pray for those that are sick: for the baby with fever and rash, the teenager who overdosed, the rambunctious one who broke a bone.

We also pray for our hurting soldiers:
for reconstructed shoulders
for replaced neck disks
for ankle recoveries
for painful feet
for aching backs
for hurting heads
Lord we ask for Your healing. We pray for Your strength. We thank You for doctors. Please help these people rest in recovery.

We pray for our wounded at Walter Reed and other hospitals. We pray for courage to face the new reality. We pray for wisdom for the doctors. We pray for caring touches from the chaplains.

And more importantly, we pray for lost souls. We pray against suicide. We pray You will rescue and save and use us to help.

We pray for the helpers--the doctors, the nurses, the chaplains, the Chief of Chaplains' office...

Thank You Lord for caring, for gathering us, for singing over us. We love You.
Amen.
