Reverend Linda Jaberg asked Jeff Bowman, a nuclear engineer, to give us guidance in Praying for Japan... Our Father,
We pray for the people of Japan who are coping with an unimaginable
tragedy. They mourn thousands of dead and fear the worst for thousands
more who are missing. The survivors have lost their homes and must
endure a harsh climate without shelter, food, or even drinking water.
Yet in the midst of this suffering, the survivors fear another
impending calamity from the damaged nuclear facility. We lift up the
50 courageous technicians who are working tirelessly in a dangerous
environment to restore each of the damaged reactors to a safe
condition. They are faced with unprecedented challenges, well beyond
their training, and with overwhelming consequences for the surrounding
population. Grant them strength to endure this challenge and grant
them wisdom and innovative minds to successfully restore cooling to
each of the reactors and bring this crisis to an end. Protect them
from the radiation surrounding them so that they may survive this
ordeal.
We also pray for the families of the technicians, who are fearful for
the danger faced by their loved ones. We ask that your spirit be in
the midst of all who are engaged in this battle and grant them success.
Amen
