We understand your feelings. Many people are seeking reassurance and an affirmation that God is present in the situation, regardless of how dire it appears at the moment. We invite you to keep the faith for all those affected by the hurricanes by affirming the following:
* We affirm peace, protection, healing and divine order;
* the love of God comforts and soothes you;
* the light of God guides you and keeps you...
