"When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I."     Psalms 61:2

This is my prayer for you Texas:

May you feel hope when your strength is gone.

May you find an outstretched hand when yours is trembling.

May you rest in safety and warmth tonight.

May you hear the prayers of millions taking flight heavenward just for you.

May you see beyond this murky darkness to the brilliance that lies ahead.

And may you rise like the Phoenix out of these ashes to shine brighter than you ever thought possible.
Amen.
