Heavenly Father, Almighty God, Our Protector and Strength,

We come to You with heavy hearts as we lift up our brothers and sisters in Mindanao who are waking up to the devastation, fear, and uncertainty of the massive earthquake. Lord, You are our refuge in times of trouble, and right now, the ground beneath them has shaken violently.

We ask for Your divine protection and comfort over the cities and provinces affected, especially around General Santos City, Sarangani and Davao.

For those who are afraid: Cast out their fear and replace it with Your supernatural peace. Calm the hearts of the children, the students whose first day of school was disrupted, and the families holding onto one another through the terrifying aftershocks.

For the injured and grieving: We pray for Your healing touch upon the hundreds who have been hurt. Comfort the families who are mourning the sudden and tragic loss of their loved ones. Wrap them in Your love and give them the strength to endure this painful hour.

For the evacuees: Protect those who had to flee their homes along the coasts due to the tsunami warnings. Guard them in the highlands and evacuation centers, and provide for their immediate needs—food, clean water, shelter, and medical care.

For the first responders and leaders: Grant wisdom, strength, and endurance to the rescue teams, medical personnel, and local officials working tirelessly under pressure to pull people from the rubble and clear the roads. Protect them as they move through unstable structures.

Lord, stir the hearts of people across the Philippines and around the world to stand in solidarity with Mindanao. May aid, resources, and comfort pour into the region swiftly. Hold the land steady, Lord, and let Your presence be felt as an anchor that cannot be shaken.

In Your holy and powerful name, we pray.

Amen. 🌱
