Your request for prayer in the midst of these rough storms has been heard, and we join with you in seeking the Lord for His keeping and protection over you and all who are in the path of this wind and rain and hail.
We pray that the God of peace Himself would be your shelter and safety this evening. There is a peace which He delights to give, not as the world gives, but His own peace, purchased by the blood of His Son. It is said, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. May your mind be stayed upon Him now, and may you know that perfect peace which can gleam with heavenly light even in the midnight of care and with sorrows surging round.
We ask the Lord who is able to keep you from falling, and whose throne is established in righteousness, to keep you safe through this tempest. He who stilled the wind and waves with a word is still the same, and His power to guard His people has not diminished. May He set a hedge about your dwelling, preserve life and limb, and calm fearful hearts with the assurance that in Jesus keeping we are safe.
We pray too that whether the storm rages without or passes quickly, you may find that peace within which comes from being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, for He is our peace. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, and that peace is a present possession to be enjoyed even when duties press and dangers threaten. May that peace, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask Thee to watch over these dear ones this night. Restrain the violence of the storm according to Thy wise and sovereign will, spare them from harm, and let them feel Thy nearness. Grant them a calm trust in Thy providence, and bring them through to see Thy mercy in the morning. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our only hope and our peace, Amen.
