🇺🇸Sudden Earthquake in Northernmost State of ###

[Nochaeld]

Father, we thank You for being an ever-present help in times of trouble, Ps 46:1-2. We ask for Your love, joy and peace of the hearts of believers in the ### area of our northernmost state by The Holy Spirit, Gal 5:22-23. We pray for the youth and elderly, that they may be comforted on this Thanksgiving Day of remembrance. We submit to You and then ask You overrule the wicked serpent of old who loves to prey upon the vulnerable as a vulture seeks the weak, as we resist the devil firm in the faith. Please be with our first responders who no doubt must needs place duty before their own desires, and ask me may emulate such service in our duties of prayer, thanksgiving, worship, study, service and evangelism. We ask for all in authority, 1 Tim 2:2-3, to be clear and sober minded, give direction as necessity requires, and for any injured or worse. We always leave with our prayers in the manner we approach them, with thanksgiving, Phil 4:6-7, for things could always be worse, (The whole of the Old Testament Prophets and Revelation), since the whole of creation groans and travails as You subjected it to futility in hope, Rom 8:20, that we might grope for You and find You, Acts 17:27, and we are on borrowed time until the fullness of the unbelieving world has heard and come in, Rom 11:25, Rev 6:11. We ask many come to repentance, 2 Peter 2:9, and all come to the knowledge of the truth, 1 Tim 2:4. Raise up laborers for the harvest, Luke 10:2, and let us preach The Word being ready in season and out of season, 2 Tim 4:2, endure hardship and do the work of an evangelist, 2 Tim 4:5, and keep ourselves pure, 1 Jn 3:3, Rev 19:7, as we look forward to and hasten the day of Your Son's appearing, 2 Peter 3:12, through Jesus Christ our Head, Col 1:8, our merciful, sympathetic, sinless and approachable High Priest, Heb 4:15-16, and Intercessor, Heb 7:25, who prays as He did for the disciple who thrice denied Him, Luke 22:32, then thrice restored His confession of love, and reasserted his duty to feed and shepherd Your sheep, John 21:15-16, 17, in Jesus' Name, John 14:13-14, we agree, Matt 18:19, so we have these petitions we have asked of You, Mk 11:24, 1 Jn 5:14-15, Amen, 1 Cor 2:14.

We join with you in lifting up this sudden earthquake in the northernmost state, recognizing that our God is sovereign over all creation and that nothing takes Him by surprise. Your prayer is rich with Scripture, and we echo your heart for the people affected—especially the vulnerable, the first responders, and those in authority. We also commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, as Scripture declares: *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name alone that we are saved, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).

The earth may shake, but our God remains unshaken, a refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1-2). In times like these, we are reminded that creation itself groans under the weight of sin, longing for the day of redemption (Romans 8:20-22). Yet even in this, God’s purpose prevails—that all might seek Him, though He is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:27). We pray that this event would stir hearts to turn to Christ, for He alone is the Rock that cannot be moved.

We lift up the youth and the elderly, asking that the Holy Spirit would minister His comfort and peace to them, guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May the believers in this region shine as lights in the darkness, demonstrating the love of Christ through service, prayer, and proclamation of the Gospel. We pray for the first responders, that God would grant them wisdom, strength, and protection as they fulfill their duties. May their sacrifice remind us all of our call to serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13).

For those in authority, we ask for clarity of mind and courage to lead with integrity, that they may act justly and swiftly for the good of those under their care (1 Timothy 2:2). We pray for any who are injured or grieving, that the Lord would be their healer and comforter, drawing them near to Himself. May this trial drive many to repentance, for the Lord is *"not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB).

We also pray for the Church in this region—to rise up as laborers for the harvest (Luke 10:2), preaching the Word in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). May believers endure hardship with faith, keeping themselves pure as they await the return of our Lord (1 John 3:3). Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

Finally, we agree with your prayer of thanksgiving, for even in trials, we know that God works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Our hope is not in the stability of the earth but in the unchanging character of our God. May this event be a reminder to all that *"the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night"* (1 Thessalonians 5:2, WEB), and may it spur us to urgency in sharing the Gospel with those who do not yet know Christ.

**Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We ask for Your mercy to be poured out upon those affected by this earthquake. Comfort the fearful, heal the injured, and strengthen the hands of those who serve. Raise up Your Church to be a beacon of hope, and may many turn to You in repentance and faith. Let Your name be glorified in this, and may Your kingdom come as hearts are turned toward You. We ask these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.**

We're right there with you, sister. Let's keep lifting up our northernmost state, especially the youth and the elderly, that they may find comfort and peace in Christ Jesus. Let's also remember to pray for the first responders, that they would be kept safe and be a beacon of hope in this time of need.

We know that God is in control, even in the midst of earthquakes. Let's trust in His sovereignty and pray that this event would bring many to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. After all, He is the solid rock on which we can stand, even when the earth beneath us shakes.

Let's also pray for the Church in that area, that we would rise up as laborers for the harvest, shining the light of Christ in the darkness. May we be bold in sharing the Gospel, even in the face of adversity.

And finally, let's remember to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him. Let's trust in His goodness and mercy, even in the midst of trials.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
