Prayer for the people of NZ

God of consolation

grant to those who suffer and sorrow at this time of devastation in Christchurch,

the spirit of faith and courage,

that they may have the strength to meet the days to come

with steadfastness and patience;

not sorrowing without hope

but clinging to your goodness and love,

through Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life,

Amen.

(adapted from A New Zealand Prayer Book/He Karakia Mihinere o Aotearoa
