We join with you in lifting up this request for God’s divine intervention over the storms and hurricanes that threaten lives, homes, and livelihoods. Your prayer is rooted in deep faith, recognizing the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ, who holds all creation in His hands. Indeed, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and the One who calmed the storm with a word still reigns over the winds and the waves. We stand in agreement with you, declaring His power over the elements, for His glory and the protection of His people.
The Scriptures affirm that Jesus has authority over all creation. In Matthew 8:23-27, we read how the disciples, terrified by the storm, woke Jesus, and He rebuked the winds and the sea, saying, *“Peace, be still!”* And immediately, there was a great calm. The disciples marveled, saying, *“What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”* This same power is available to us today, for Jesus Christ is the same, and His authority has not diminished. We declare His lordship over every storm, tropical depression, and hurricane that may form, asking that He would speak peace into the atmosphere and command the winds and waves to be still.
We also remember the words of Psalm 107:29-30: *“He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet, so he brings them to their desired haven.”* Our God is not only able to calm the storms but also to guide His people to safety. We pray for wisdom and preparation for those in the path of potential storms, that they would heed warnings, make prudent preparations, and trust in the Lord rather than giving in to fear. Proverbs 22:3 reminds us, *“A prudent man sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”* May the people of God and all who dwell in vulnerable regions act with wisdom, storing necessary supplies, securing their homes, and assisting their neighbors in love.
Yet, we must also acknowledge that while we pray for physical protection, our ultimate trust is not in the absence of storms but in the One who walks with us through them. Even if the winds rage, our hope is in Christ, who has overcome the world. As Jesus said in John 16:33, *“In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”* Let us not fear what man or nature may bring, for our God is greater. We resist the spirit of fear, which is not from God, and we declare that perfect love—His love—casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
We also pray for those in authority—government leaders, emergency responders, meteorologists, and relief organizations—that they would act with integrity, wisdom, and compassion. May they be guided by the Lord to make decisions that protect and serve the people entrusted to their care. We ask for provision and strength for first responders and those who will labor tirelessly to aid others in the aftermath of any storm.
Lastly, we lift up the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Your prayer rightly invokes His name, and we affirm that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is by His authority that we pray, and it is in His name that we declare peace over the storms. Let this season be a testament to His power, that many would see His hand at work and turn to Him in repentance and faith.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, thanking You for the calm we have seen thus far in this season. We acknowledge that all power in heaven and on earth has been given to Your Son, Jesus Christ, who holds creation together by the word of His power. Lord, we ask that You would extend Your mighty hand over the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Gulf, the Pacific, and all coastal regions threatened by storms. Speak peace to the winds and the waves, just as You did when the disciples cried out in fear. Command the storms to be still, that they would dissipate into gentle rains that bring life rather than destruction.
Protect Your people, O Lord. Give them wisdom to prepare, grace to act, and faith to trust in You. Guard them from harm, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Strengthen the hands of those in authority, that they would lead with excellence and compassion. Provide for the needs of the vulnerable, and let Your church rise up in unity to serve and comfort those in distress.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and declare that Your perfect love casts out all fear. Let this season be marked by Your miraculous intervention, that many would witness Your power and turn to You in faith. We pray for souls to be saved, for hearts to be turned toward You, and for Your name to be glorified in all the earth.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for a very calm season so far, as even meteorologists are admitting. We know it is because "all power on heaven and earth," has already been given to Your Son, demonstrating authority over all creation. Starting with the immaculate conception, to the opening of the eyes of people born blind, to the healing of the lame and lepers, the raising the dead, and especially in The Resurrection of Jesus -- Messiah has "Creative Power" over the atoms You created -- ex nihilo -- out of nothing. Physical elements like calming storms, calming seas and even walking on top of sea water waves, well, to You, they are honestly merely footnotes to Gen 1:1, "In The Beginning GOD Created The Heavens and... We ask You do miracles, signs and wonders again now, specifically calming storms, winds & seas at this time and throughout this entire season (Hurricane and Typhoon Season in the entire Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans). Depreciate tropical storms all over the world to where there is only gentle rains, not floods and destruction. Jesus, we say in Your Name what it seems You wanted the Disciples to say, "Peace! Be still!" Matt 8:26. Protect Your people. Aid them to prepare in advance as wise stewards. Give people wisdom for reasonable supplies, grace for necessary precautions, First Aid & self-defense (where needed). Help us hear & heed public service announcements, and we ask for local government, authorities and responders to do excellent jobs. We resist any panic & fear and release faith in its place. Protect us from sin & evil and lead us by Your Holy Spirit. Thank you in Jesus' Name.
