As I write this, the death toll from the earthquake in Turkey is approaching 20,000. It is sure to go higher in the days ahead . . .
Lord, have mercy! Have mercy on the people of Turkey. Preserve the lives of those still awaiting rescue. Give strength to those working so hard at rescue and recovery. Provide for those who have lost everything. And above all, we pray, may this affliction open the ears and hearts of those who do not know You to hear Your Word of love, forgiveness, and Your great victory over death and the grave. In the days and weeks ahead, may they find comfort and hope in You, that perhaps some good will come out of this tragedy. Hear us, O Jesus. Amen.
