🙏7.8 Earthquake: Comfort Believers 2 Cor 1:2-5 Send Laborers for Harvest Mt 9:37-38 Seek & Save Lost Sinners Lk 19:10 1 Tim 1:15 Mercy Efforts Mt 5:7

[Nochaeld]

We PRAY FOR those affected by a 7.8 Earthquake hit recently, shallow depth, a lot of people dead, more injured, some still missing.... Intense shaking lasted 2 minutes... We ask the Grace and Peace from The God of all comfort, 2 Cor 1:2, comfort the afflicted and panic stricken, 2 Cor 1:3-5, a LOT of heavy aftershocks, calm them kindly, help with the search and rescue efforts, seek and save the Lost, Lk 19:10, (Your priority), raise up and send out Laborers for The Harvest, Mt 9:37-38, save sinners, 1 Tim 1:15-16.

Lord Jesus, we agree the the multitudes are like sheep without a shepherd, and notice how moved You were with compassion, Mt 9:36. We firstly ask You share that SAME compassion for the multitudes with us (and Your compassion for individuals, cities, regions, states, nation and all peoples, tribes and tongues). We do agree that there should be no procrastination regarding the readiness of the harvest, Jn 4:35, for the harvest is plentiful, and the laborers painfully few, Matt 9:37-38. We ask you for laborers for the harvest to be sent out, Lk 10:2, allow the gospel to gain traction in the hearts, lives and witness of believers, Col 1:5-6, and let Your love -- the love of Christ -- compel us, so we no longer live for ourselves, but You who died and rose again on our behalf, 2 Cor 5:14. May the love that compels us empower us to compel others to come to You, Lk 14:23, having not only the words to say but how to say them, Jn 14:29, becoming all things to all people that by all means we may win some, 1 Cor 9:22, and that is what we need more grace to be while inviting them to come in, winsome, showing utterly no respect of persons, Matt 22:9-10, Lk 14:21, even having the compassion and grace to heal some as a sign that You're the Messiah, the Son of God, and that in believing people have life in Your Name, John 20:30-31.

Thank You for revealing to Your beloved Apostle that You came into the World to DESTROY the works of the devil, 1 Jn 3:8, so guard everyone from temptation, evil, Matt 6:13, evil people, imposters, 2 Tim 3:13, and the evil one, John 17:15. With thanksgiving we offer these requests asking the peace of God not only guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7, but more importantly, Phil 2:3, theirs at this time. Grant repentance and save souls in that nation, 2 Pet 3:9, 1 Tim 2:1-4, thanks again, always in Jesus' Name.

We lift our hearts in unity before the throne of grace, joining with you in fervent prayer for those devastated by the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The images of destruction and the cries of the afflicted weigh heavily upon us, and we stand together in the truth that our God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Lord, we ask that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard the hearts and minds of those who are grieving, fearful, and in pain. Calm the aftershocks of terror in their souls as surely as You calmed the stormy sea with a word.

Father, we are reminded that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37-38). We cry out to You, the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into this broken land, men and women filled with Your Spirit, equipped to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and to bring the light of the gospel to those who sit in darkness (Isaiah 61:1). Let the love of Christ compel them, that they may no longer live for themselves but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). Raise up believers who will demonstrate Your love through acts of mercy, healing, and compassion, that many may see and believe in the name of Jesus.

We also recognize, Lord, that in the midst of physical suffering, there is an even greater spiritual need. The lost are like sheep without a shepherd, and we ask that You would move in the hearts of Your people to seek and save those who are perishing (Luke 19:10). Grant repentance to those who do not yet know You, that they may turn from sin and receive the gift of eternal life (2 Peter 3:9). Let the gospel take root in this land, bearing fruit and growing, just as it does in the whole world (Colossians 1:6). May the love of Christ be the compelling force that draws many to salvation, that they may have life in His name (John 20:31).

We acknowledge that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that they may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke the works of darkness in this situation, the fear, the despair, the exploitation, and any schemes of the evil one to hinder the gospel. Guard the hearts of the afflicted from temptation and evil, and protect them from those who would seek to take advantage of their vulnerability (Matthew 6:13). Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may the lost be found, the broken be healed, and the captives set free.

Lord, we thank You that You are not slow concerning Your promises but are patient, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We pray for the salvation of souls in this nation, that many would come to know You as Lord and Savior. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this place, as it is in heaven. Strengthen the hands of those who are working tirelessly in search and rescue efforts, and provide for every need, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Let Your peace reign in the midst of chaos, and may Your name be glorified through the testimony of Your people.

We offer this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May Your will be done, and may Your love be the ultimate comfort and hope for all who are suffering. Amen.

Our hearts ache for those caught in this terrible disaster. We know You are close to the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. Let Your peace calm every fear, and give strength to the rescuers working tirelessly.

Lord, remind us that in crisis, Your love compels us to act. Open doors for Your people to serve with compassion, bringing food, shelter, and most importantly, the hope found only in Christ. May the gospel shine brightest in these dark days, drawing many to salvation.

Protect the vulnerable from further harm, and guard the hearts of those grieving. Comfort them with Your presence, as only You can. We ask all this in Jesus’ name.
