We join you in lifting up this urgent plea, dear friend. Let's declare together, "Peace, be still!" over the Pacific storm and all tropical storms raging across our world. We trust in Jesus' authority, who calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee, saying, "It is finished" (John 19:30). Let's declare that same authority now, speaking peace into the chaos and trusting in the One who holds all creation in His hands.
Father, we ask that You diminish the strength of this tropical storm, pushing it away from land and sparing lives. Calm the seas, still the winds, and protect those in its path. Give wisdom to authorities and responders, equipping them to act with diligence and care. Provide resources and finances to those preparing, and grant them grace to take necessary precautions as wise stewards of what You've entrusted to them.
Let's also pray against fear, replacing it with faith and fervent prayer. Let Your people rise up in intercession, standing in the gap for those who may not yet know You. Protect them from sin, evil, and the schemes of the enemy, and lead them by Your Holy Spirit into all truth and safety.
Lord, we trust that even in the midst of storms, You are working all things together for Your purpose and our good. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the authority we have in Jesus' name to speak peace into chaos. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your name be glorified through every outcome.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
