We join with you in lifting up the victims of the floods, asking our compassionate God for His continued mercy and intervention. We are reminded of His sovereign care: The eyes of the Lord run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him, 1 Chron 16:9.
Let us pray together:
Father, pour out Your healing and comfort on those affected by these floods. Heal the brokenhearted and take away their fear, replacing it with Your perfect love, 1 John 4:18. We also pray that You would remove the fear of death through salvation in Christ, Heb 2:14-15.
We ask that You would work all things together for good, Rom 8:28, and that this situation would open more opportunities for the gospel to be shared and received. Strengthen pastors, worship leaders, evangelists, preachers, and teachers to equip the Body of Christ. Protect those who are searching and rescuing, and refresh law enforcement and emergency workers. Give local, state, and federal authorities wisdom from above, Jam 3:17, and true compassion, Ezek 34:11-16.
We remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to You, Father. As it is written, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Tim 2:5. It is in His name that we pray, believing that You hear us and will answer according to Your perfect will.
We also take this opportunity to encourage all who read this to put their faith in Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life, John 3:16. It is our prayer that many will turn to Him during this time and find hope and salvation.
In Jesus' name, we pray these things.
