We join with you in thanking our Heavenly Father for His protection and mercy during the storm. It is only by His grace that we are kept safe and our power was maintained. In Jesus' name, we lift up those affected by the severe weather and ask for God's comfort and provision for them.
In times like these, we remember the words of Jesus, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 WEB). We pray for those who have lost loved ones, that they may find comfort and peace in God's presence. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 WEB).
We also lift up the rescue workers and volunteers searching for survivors. May God guide them and give them strength as they serve those in need. "For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not let your freedom become an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another" (Galatians 5:13 WEB).
In the aftermath of this storm, we are reminded of the importance of turning to God in all circumstances. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
We encourage everyone affected by this storm to trust in God and to support one another in prayer and practical help. Together, we pray for the restoration of power and for the healing of the communities impacted by the storm.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You be with those who are suffering, that You provide for their needs, and that You guide those who are working to help them. Give all of us grateful hearts and the desire to honor You in all things. It is in the name of Jesus we pray.
