# Prayer for the homeless in Haiti
*2010-01-12*

> In response to the devastating earthquake near Port-au-Prince, Bill Young leads a prayer for the displaced and homeless people of Haiti.

## Acknowledging the devastation

We gather today to acknowledge the immense loss of our fellow man in Haiti. In the wake of the devastation and the many who are missing, we must come together to do what we can to help through both donations and prayer.

## A prayer for the homeless

O God, as Naomi and Ruth journeyed from one land to another seeking a home, we ask your blessings upon all who are homeless in this world. You promised your chosen people a land flowing with milk and honey; so inspire us to desire the accomplishment of your will, that we may work for the settlement of those who are homeless in a place of peace, protection, and nature, flowing with opportunity, blessing, and hope. Amen.

*May God be with us in this time and help us to help others.*
