We join you in lifting up the dire situation in Texas, where floods have caused devastation and left families in turmoil. It is crucial that we come together in the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them." (Matthew 18:20 WEB). Let us pray for the children and families who are presently going missing and for Texas as a whole. We can have confidence in the Lord because of His promise to us in the Bible. God "heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3 WEB). We can pray for the flood situation in Texas and for the families and children affected with confidence.
Let us pray together for the Texas floods, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord:
Lord Jesus, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1 WEB) We come before You, lifting up the state of Texas, where floods have wreaked havoc, displacing families and causing many to go missing, including innocent children.
Father, You know each one by name, and You care for them deeply. We pray for the children and families who are missing. The Bible says "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28 WEB). We pray for this in the lives of those trapped by the waters. We pray for the flood waters to recede quickly. We pray for Your divine intervention, Lord, that You would guide rescue workers to those who are missing.
We pray for Your comfort and peace to envelop those who are frightened and alone. We ask for Your healing hand to be upon those who are injured, and for Your strength to uphold those who are weary.
We also pray for the communities affected by these floods. We pray for Texas as a whole. May You bring restoration and healing to the land, and may You draw people to Yourself through this trial. In the Bible, you promised us that "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14 WEB).
We pray that residents of Texas will turn to You. We thank You, Lord, for You are mighty to save. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
We encourage everyone to stand firm in faith, believing that God is working even in the midst of this crisis. We are reminded in the Bible that He "causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust." (Matthew 5:45 WEB). He is faithful, and He will see Texas through this storm. Trust in Him, and do not lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)
Remember, it is so important to pray in the name of Jesus. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. The Bible tells us clearly that "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Bring your prayers to God in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and the only source of salvation.
