HURRICANE: Prayer

The following petition may be inserted into the Ektenia of Supplication (immediately after the petitions for the Hierarchs and the Clergy) at Vespers, Orthros and Divine Liturgy:

“Let not stormy waters drown Thy people, O Lord, and let it not ravage the earth utterly. But as Thou art good, do Thou direct the rushing of the water, and, as Thou art mighty, do Thou command that it become a moderate course with healthful air, O Thou Who art rich in mercies and boundless compassions, with contrite and humble hearts we pray Thee: Hearken and have mercy.”

Of course it may also be added to one’s personal & family prayers.
