Katrina Prayer

After a great disaster: "Almighty God, who art a very present Help in time of trouble, let not the heart of Thy people fail when fear cometh, but do Thou sustain and comfort them until these calamaties be overpassed; and since Thou knowest the cause and reason why this grievous disaster of storm and flood hath fallen upon men, so do Thou forgive our sins, heal the hurt and wounded, console the bereaved and afflicted, protect the innocent and helpless, and deliver any who are still in peril; for the sake of Thy great mercy, in Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen."
