We join with you in lifted hearts, bringing this urgent matter before our loving and powerful Father in heaven. We stand in agreement, praying for His divine intervention and mercy in this critical situation.
Firstly we come before God thanking Him that He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to earth as a human baby and die for our sins, that we may have access to Him by no other name, amen.
The rains that threaten to cause further devastation, we pray, would be held back by His command, just as He once calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee. Let us remember His words in Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.
We lift up the family that has lost their precious child. We pray that the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God, would be especially near to them, enveloping them in His love and peace. We ask for grace, strength, and faith to flow abundantly to them from the Holy Spirit, enabling them to endure this tragic time.
We pray for the safety of everyone in the path of these floods. May God's mighty hand of protection be upon them, guiding them to safe grounds and sheltering them under His wings. Let us declare Psalm 91 over them, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.
In closing, we thank Him for His unfailing love and care for us. We trust in His goodness and sovereignty, knowing that He works all things together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose.
