With heavy heart, I see the destruction around you.

I feel your panic as chaos rushes in.

I’m too far away, I can’t help from where I am.

I cannot rescue you. That is a job for someone else.

There is one way I can help. I must get on my knees.

Heavenly Father, please send peace, send rescue, send comfort, send help.

I will not forget you in your moment of distress. I keep a prayer in my heart.

There is another that is there with you. He feels your fear as if it is His own. He feels the terror. He feels the pain. He feels the loss. He suffers the discomfort with you. Even if you don’t believe in Him, He is there with you.

He is even there when the relief comes with the arrival of the rescuers. They bring the supplies, the hugs, and the desire to serve. He sent them to you, but He stayed with you when you felt alone.

He is always there. The Prince of Peace. Can you feel Him?
