Prayers that pave the way: Hurricane

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Lord, we sometimes struggle to have faith when we know there is a large storm on the horizon. Strengthen our bodies as we prepare for evacuations. Give us peace as we think of many different solutions and outcomes. Help us to be wise beyond weather forecast predictions. We trust you to save and deliver as only you can. We commit to pray and prepare like only we can. In all our ways we acknowledge you as we trust you with all our hearts. God we pray for first responders, safety personnel, and health professionals. We pray for government workers and linemen. We ask for mercy for those who are sheltering in place. Give us your perspective when we look at despair for direction. The same Jesus who has authority over winds and waves is the Jesus we serve. We pray all of these things as you are faithful to fulfill your purposes for our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
