Prayer on a sleeplesss night


Dear God,

The rains carried by typhoon Santi are here. Please control their volume. Spare us from floods, landslides and other mishaps. We trust in your mercy and love. We trust that you will not allow a reprise of Pepeng and Ondoy, not here in Metro Manila; not anywhere else in the Philippines or in the world.

Many of us will undoubtedly keep vigil, will not sleep until we are assured of our individual and collective safety. Please keep us in your loving care. When Ondoy was giving us a deluge of water, I remembered Noah and his ark. I prayed that like you saved Noah you would save us. And you did. Water receded before long. This time around, God, I plead that you don’t allow water to rise to such a level as to cause flooding, landslides and the like.

Thank you very much, loving Father. Angels and saints, please watch over us.

Amen.
