Storms

We lift up all those in the path of these fierce storms, the heavy rains, and the rising floodwaters, knowing that our God is a refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The psalmist declares in **Psalm 46:1-3**, *"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."* Let us stand firm in this truth, trusting that the Lord is sovereign over the winds and the waves, just as He commanded the storm to be still in **Mark 4:39**.
Yet we also recognize that our world groans under the weight of sin, and natural disasters remind us of our need for repentance and reliance on Christ. While we pray for physical protection, let us also pray that hearts would turn to Jesus in these moments of vulnerability. There is no greater safety than in the arms of our Savior, who calms not only the storms outside but the storms within our souls. **Proverbs 18:10** tells us, *"Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe."*
We pray for the first responders, the volunteers, and those opening their homes to neighbors in need—may the Lord grant them strength, wisdom, and compassion as they serve. We ask for provision for those who have lost homes, livelihoods, or loved ones, that they would find comfort in **Matthew 11:28**, where Jesus says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* May the church rise up in these areas, being the hands and feet of Christ, offering both practical help and the hope of the gospel.
Let us also examine our own hearts in this time. Are we prepared, not just with supplies, but spiritually? Do we trust God even when the waters rise? **Isaiah 43:2** assures us, *"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame won’t scorch you."* This is not a promise of absence from trials, but of His presence in them.
Father, we ask for Your mercy over these regions. Still the winds, restrain the floods, and protect the vulnerable. Open doors for rescue, provide dry ground for those fleeing, and bring restoration where there is destruction. Let this trial be a testimony of Your power and love, drawing many to salvation in Christ. We pray for those who do not yet know You—may they see Your hand in this and turn to You in faith. Above all, may Your name be glorified, and may Your people shine as lights in the darkness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, our Protector and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

We're standing with you all in prayer, asking for God's protection over those in the path of these storms. Let's remember Psalm 91:1-2, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" Let's trust that God is our refuge, even in the face of heavy rains and rising floodwaters.
We're also praying for the first responders, volunteers, and those opening their homes to neighbors in need. May God grant them strength, wisdom, and compassion as they serve. And for those who have lost homes, livelihoods, or loved ones, may they find comfort in Jesus' words, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
