Dear Lord, We have had a lot of wind here lately
and more often than not, we think of the negative aspects of strong wind: perhaps our power can go out, or our property may be damaged, or we can't move around as we wold like. What we can see in wind, however, is a reminder of You.

All nature reminds us of Your creative touch, Lord, the beauty of a flower, the perfection of a spider's web, but wind is so persistent an all pervading and relentless that we can think of Your strength, Your all-encompassing will, Your dynamic spirit sweeping through our lives.
Your love is gentle and comforting, but it is useful for us to have a reminder of Your strength sometimes, too. 
We pray that You might embrace us with Your love and Your strength tonight;
we know that we will be safe and warm with You.
