New Orleans

What in the world is going on? One of the cities that's played such a huge part of my spiritual journey with Christ is in utter ruin. When people say it's a city on the verge of collapse, they are kidding themselves. It HAS collapsed. Please pray for those trying to get out... please pray for those that are on the brink of death... please pray for those stuck in the death, stench, and decay of the convention center! The situation is astounding. I believe the crisis here is far greater than that of 9/11 and the need is that much greater.

Prayer:
Father, in Jesus name, I pray for the people of the Gulf Coast. I pray for healing. I pray for transportation. I pray for medical help. I pray for clean, pure water. I pray for fresh clothes, showers, and facilities. I pray, God, for deliverance! And most of all, I pray that those that are crying out to You will be heard. And may the church respond in critical ways to demonstrate the love of Christ in the midst of such tragedy. God, save New Orleans...
