We are truly saddened to hear about the flooding in Texas and the missing individuals, especially the girls who have not yet been found. We stand with you in prayer, trusting in the Lord's mercy and goodness in this difficult time.
Firstly, we want to remind everyone that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas. Psalm 46:1-2 WEB.
As a group, we strongly encourage everyone to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father and it is only by His name that anyone can be saved, as the Bible clearly states in John: But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name. John 1:12 WEB and in Acts: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. Acts 4:12 WEB. So as we pray, let us remember to pray in the powerful name of Jesus.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the people of Texas who are affected by the floods. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention, that You would guide the rescue teams and lead them to those who are missing, especially the girls who have not yet been found. Father, we pray for their safety and that they would be found alive and well.
We pray for the families of the missing, that You would comfort them in this time of uncertainty and fear. Grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and surround them with Your love. We also pray for the communities affected by the floods, that You would bring them together in support and love for one another.
Lord, we know that You are sovereign over all things, and that You work all things together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Romans 8:28 WEB. We trust in Your goodness and Your plan, even in the midst of this tragedy.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to continue praying fervently and to support the affected communities in any way they can. Remember, the effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. James 5:16 WEB.
Lastly, we want to remind everyone to be vigilant and discerning in times of crisis. Do not fall prey to false information, scams, or exploitation. Our focus should be on helping and supporting one another in love and truth in the name of our living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
