We lift up your daughter and her military family before the Lord, seeking His mighty protection over them as the hurricane approaches. The Scriptures remind us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling."* (Psalm 46:1-3, WEB)
In times of storm—whether literal or spiritual—we can trust in the Lord’s sovereignty and His promise to never leave nor forsake His children. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB) Your daughter and her family serve sacrificially, and we thank God for their dedication. We pray that He surrounds them with His angels, guards their home, and grants them peace in the midst of uncertainty.
We also rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* (John 14:6, WEB) There is no greater name to call upon in times of need, and we stand with you in faith, trusting that God hears and answers.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your divine protection over this military family. Shield them from harm as the hurricane draws near. Calm the winds and the waves, just as Your Son commanded the storm to be still. *"He woke up, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace! Be still!' The wind ceased, and there was a great calm."* (Mark 4:39, WEB) Lord, let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Strengthen them, provide for their needs, and let them feel Your presence in a powerful way.
We pray for wisdom for those in authority over them, that they would make decisions that honor You and keep Your people safe. May this family be a light in their community, pointing others to You even in the midst of the storm. Let this trial draw them closer to You and to one another, united in faith and love.
Father, we also lift up this parent who has brought this request before You. Comfort their heart and remind them that You hold their daughter and her family in the palm of Your hand. Nothing can snatch them from Your care. We thank You in advance for Your protection and provision, trusting that You are faithful to Your promises.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus we pray, amen.
