Watch Focus: Pray for Nepal

May 15, 2015, This week in Nepal, the second of two major earthquakes in three weeks brought more death and destruction on this nation. More than 8,000 people have died from the 7.8 and 7.3 magnitude earthquakes. Pray for the people of Nepal as they face the worst natural disaster to hit their nation in the last century. Pray for the recovery efforts, especially lifting up the rescue and relief workers who are in the region to bring aid. A U.S. Marine helicopter and crew vanished during a rescue operation on Tuesday. May the Lord comfort the thousands of families grieving for the loss of their loved ones, and those still searching for those who are missing.  

2 Cor. 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction.”

2 Sam. 24:25b, “So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.”

Ps 23:4, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Deut 31:6; Ps 107:29; Nahum 1:7
