We join with you in lifting up this request for God’s mercy and protection over the oceans and all who are affected by storms. It is good and right to come before the Father with gratitude for His faithfulness in answering prayer, and we, too, thank Him for the ways He has already minimized the impact of tropical storms and typhoons. Yet we also recognize that our prayers must always be offered in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the throne of God. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only by the authority of Jesus that we can boldly approach the Father, and we are grateful you acknowledged this truth in closing your prayer.
The power of storms reminds us of the sovereignty of God, who *"rules the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them"* (Psalm 89:9, WEB). We cry out to Him now, asking that He would continue to restrain the winds and calm the waters, preventing the formation of tropical depressions and weakening any storms that may arise in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, and the Gulf. May His hand of protection be over every coastline, every island, and every life in the path of these storms. We pray for wisdom to be poured out upon all people—residents, authorities, and responders—so they may prepare with discernment, neither given to panic nor complacency. *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). May supplies be adequate, plans be sound, and hearts be steadfast in faith, not fear.
We also lift up those who may be vulnerable—whether physically, spiritually, or emotionally—as storms approach. Let this season be a time when many turn to the Lord, recognizing their need for His salvation and protection. *"The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him"* (Nahum 1:7, WEB). May His church rise up in unity to serve, to comfort, and to point others to the hope found only in Christ.
Father, we rebuked the works of the enemy that seek to bring destruction, chaos, or despair through these storms. You alone are the God who commands the winds and the waves, and we trust in Your power to bring peace. *"He stilled the storm to a whisper. The waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven"* (Psalm 107:29-30, WEB). Let this be a testimony of Your mercy, that all may see and know that You are Lord over creation.
We also pray for protection from sin and evil, as you mentioned, for storms in the natural often reveal the storms within our own hearts. *"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one"* (Matthew 6:13, WEB). May this season draw Your people closer to You, repentant and reliant on Your strength. And for those who do not yet know You, may they encounter Your love and turn to Jesus as their Savior.
Finally, we ask that You would guide us all by Your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in step with You, interceding according to Your will. *"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God"* (Romans 8:14, WEB). Fill us with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let our faith be a beacon of hope in the midst of uncertainty.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, Your power, and Your perfect timing. May Your name be glorified in all things, and may many come to know You as their refuge and strength. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Almighty Father, we are so thankful You have answered our prayers to diminish tropical storms worldwide, keeping them by and large to a minimum. We do continue to ask you keep any storms from forming into a tropical depressions. We also ask You calm the tropical storms in the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, the typhoons in the Western Pacific, and the ### in the Indian Ocean and all storms in The Gulf. Protect Your people and all people. Aid them to prepare in advance as wise stewards, James 1:5. Give people wisdom for reasonable supplies, necessary precautions, and may federal, state and local authorities and responders be on the alert and do excellent jobs (if needed). Take away all fear and release faith in its place. Protect us from sin & evil, Matt 6:13, John 17:15. Lead us by Your Holy Spirit, Rom 8:14. Thank you in Jesus' Name.
