Almighty God, whose great power both creates and destroys, spare us from the day of trouble and disaster, that in the aftermath, we might be your hands and feet and voice to those who are in need, through Christ our savior, who abides with you and the Holy Spirit above, reigning over all in power and love. Amen.
‘Then everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the LORD calls.’ – Joel 2:32
