God of the vulnerable, we bring before you all those people who are suffering from the effects of natural global events such as the earthquakes in Venezuela. Thank you for the ceaseless efforts of those on the ground , who have rescued so many people, even when hope seemed gone., Be close to those who have lost homes, families and friends.

Inspire those who have the necessary resources to respoind effectively. May the developed world recognise its responsibility and produce a co-ordinated international response.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
