Almighty God,

You reach into the darkness with hope, truth and light. Stretch out your strong hand in the Christchurch community, hold and rescue those who have suffered. Let your almighty love move mountains, cross seas and breathe life into the darkest places.

Light that redeems.

Light that restores.

Light that heals.

Light that protects.

Light that saves.

There is nothing higher, stronger or greater than your love.

We trust in you.

Amen
