To all my friends who may be in the path of Hurricane Matthew in the coming days, I'm praying that you'll all be safe and that your homes won't be damaged. I'm crossing my fingers that you're all adequately prepared for the storm and that damage will be limited.
I know for some of you, this isn't your first "rodeo" (and most likely won't be the last), but please don't take any unnecessary chances and do what you know you need to do to keep yourselves and your families as safe as possible. As Anderson Cooper said: "Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both."
God, our Father,
Eternal and Omnipotent,
Creator and Lord of the Universe,
you have set the earth on its foundation
and all elements of nature obey your command. You give food to all flesh,
cover the heavens with clouds,
and provide rain to the earth ─
We humbly beseech you
Lord, Most High,
to keep us safe from all dangers
and to calm all the storms of life that threaten us:
especially the attack of whirlwinds and tornadoes,
the calamity and destruction of hurricanes,
the din and damage of hail storms,
the striking of thunderbolts and lightning,
and the devastation of floods and tidal waves.
