I looked through the kitchen window, and a beautiful moon was setting, almost full. 
With storm Ciara coming, the full moon is not good news for coastal regions.
God, protect all people from the storm.
For those on the sea, on the roads,
by the rivers and in the fields,
we ask that lives will be spared.
God protect us from ourselves,
save us from our addiction to oil:
teach us to consider others
who share this planet.
Unprotected Christ,
crucified because of humanity’s wrongdoing,
walk with us in the shadows.
Spirit of God,
breathe gentleness into us,
inspire us to care.
