Prayers for Haiti

I am so devastated by the news of the massive earthquake in Haiti. I spent some time in Haiti doing a mission a few years back and hold that country very close to my heart. It is so close to Florida, but seemed like another world. I can only imagine what it is like now.... and what it will be like in the upcoming weeks, months and years. We were there at a time of peace and calm and we found ourselves faced with machine guns, massive poverty, but also such a spirit of survival among the people. I am praying that that same spirit of survival will keep the people of Haiti going during this time. I pray that they receive the help that they need quickly and peacefully. I pray that the media attention they are receiving will bring a greater understanding of their situation to more people around the world. I am praying for all my friends that right in the middle of all the devastation. I pray that they and their families are safe. So please, keep Haiti in your thoughts and prayers right now!
