We join with you in lifting up this urgent request for God’s mercy and protection over the coasts, islands, and all who are in the path of storms. Your prayer is rooted in faith, and we stand in agreement with you, knowing that our Lord Jesus has authority over the winds and the waves. It is by His name alone that we approach the throne of grace, and we thank you for invoking His power in this plea.
The Scriptures remind us of Jesus’ command over creation when He calmed the storm with the words, *“Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm* (Matthew 8:26, WEB). Just as the disciples witnessed His power, we too can trust that He is able to speak peace into the chaos. Yet we also recall that while God may calm the storm, He also calls us to prepare wisely, as Noah did in obedience before the flood (Genesis 6:22). Preparation is not a lack of faith but stewardship of the wisdom God provides.
We also remember that in times of crisis, fear can take hold, but perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). Therefore, we resist the spirit of panic and declare faith in God’s sovereignty. We pray for local governments, first responders, and all authorities to act with wisdom, integrity, and swift coordination. May they be guided by the Lord to make decisions that protect life and property.
At the same time, we must not forget that storms—whether natural or spiritual—often reveal the condition of our hearts. Are we trusting in our own strength, or are we leaning wholly on Christ? Are we prepared not just with supplies but with a heart surrendered to Him? Let this season be a reminder to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, knowing that all other things will be added as He sees fit (Matthew 6:33).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, acknowledging that all creation obeys Your voice. You alone command the winds and the waves, and we ask You now to speak peace over the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Gulf, and the Pacific. Depower the storms forming, turn them away from populated areas, and let Your mercy prevail. Protect the vulnerable, the elderly, the children, and all who are in harm’s way. Give wisdom to those in authority to issue timely warnings and to those preparing to do so with discernment, not fear.
Lord, we also pray for the salvation of souls in these regions. Let this season of uncertainty drive many to seek You, the only true refuge. May Your people shine as lights in the darkness, offering help, hope, and the gospel of Jesus Christ to those in need. Strengthen the church to be Your hands and feet, ready to serve with compassion and boldness.
We rebuke the enemy’s attempts to bring destruction, chaos, or despair. No weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Instead, let this time be a testimony of Your power, provision, and peace. Guard hearts against sin—against selfishness in hoarding, against hardness in ignoring the needs of others, and against despair in forgetting Your promises.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness, even when the path is unclear. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your name be glorified through it all. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You again for power over creation. We ask You calm storms, winds & seas now at this time and throughout this entire season (and Typhoon Season in The ### Pacific). Depreciate Tropical Storm ### before it gets too close to ###. 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 them wisdom for reasonable supplies, grace for necessary precautions, First Aid & self-defense if needed. Help us hear & heed public service announcements, and we ask for local government, authorities and responders. We resist any panic & fear and release faith in its place. Protect us from sin & evil. Thank you in Jesus' Name.
