God, our strength and our help
in times of trouble,
be with your people now
in the aftermath of this earthquake.
Move us to come together
offering shelter for the homeless,
rest to the weary,
comfort for the injured and distressed,
so that although all is unsteady
and faith may be shaken,
the light of your hope shines through.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
