Prayer for Protection in a Time of Storm or Danger In the
name of the
Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. ( For the Greater Glory of God ) A candle, around which the family has
gathered for prayer, is lighted. (optional) Lord and Holy Protector, like the disciples who were caught in their tiny boat in the midst of a mighty storm, we come together to seek Your help. We are fearful as we are surrounded by danger. We feel helpless and small before the great power of this perilous time, a power which is beyond our control. While everything seems dark and dangerous, we place our trust in You, our Lord and God. Sheltered here in our homes, we are also shielded by Your love against all that might harm us. We know that You hear all prayers so we now, filled with confidence, lift up our petitions to You, our God. pause for silent prayer
Lord, we fear for our homes, for our lives and for all we hold dear. Your sacred blessing is upon our homes and upon each of us as well. We are secure in the power of that blessing. May the saving power of the Cross of Your Son, Jesus, encircle all of us at this time. May all evil, all harm and injury, be repelled by that sacred sign. May the light of this candle be for us a holy sign of Your Divine Presence that fills our home in the midst of this danger. Lord and Creator of Storms and of Rainbows, be with us in this time of danger. Amen. A Rainbow Prayer — A Blessing Prayer After a Storm or a Time of Danger In the
name of the
Father,
Lord and Divine Protector,and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. ( For the Greater Glory of God ) when Your trustful servant Noah came forth from the ark, after a long and difficult storm, he built an altar where he and his family gave praise to You, their God, for saving them. Your holy rainbow was both a sign and a shrine for that prayer of gratitude. We, like Noah and his family, come now to thank You for protecting us in a time of danger. That danger has now passed, and we prayerfully give thanks that You, our Lord, have heard our prayers and have kept us safe within Your holy hands. Our sacrifice will be this lifting up of our hearts in gratitude and in praise of You. We thank You not only for safety from harm but for this opportunity to place all our trust in You, our Lord and Savior. This peril, even with its dark danger, has been for us a source of renewed devotion and of dedication to each other and to You. Lord, You are a God who brings forth good things from the dark times of life. From that which is bad and ugly, You create a rainbow of the good and the beautiful. We pause, and, in silence, thank You for Your protection and blessings in this danger that has passed. pause for silent prayer
Blessed are You, Lord our God, who saves those who trust in You. Amen.
In the
name of the
Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. ( For the Greater Glory of God ) |
