We join with you in praying for God's protection and care over all people and animals, especially during these times of natural disasters and uncertainties. We are reminded of God's promise to watch over His creation, as it is written in Psalm 145:9, "Yahweh is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works." and in Psalm 36:6, "Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are the Creator and Sustainer of all things. We ask for Your divine protection and care over every living creature on this earth. Watch over those affected by wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Comfort those who are afraid and bring peace to those who are anxious.
We specifically lift up the family who experienced the trauma of a tornado and the individual who felt the frightening effects of an earthquake. Lord, be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble as Psalm 46:1 reminds us.
Help us to trust in Your goodness and mercy, even in the midst of trials. Guide us to be Your hands and feet, extending compassion and aid to those in need.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who is our Rock and Salvation. For it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!" It is by His holy name we have access to God. It is by believing in Him, our Savior and Redeemer, that we are saved.
Amen.
Take heart, knowing that God cares for you and all His creation. Trust in His goodness and rest in His promise to never leave nor forsake you, as it says in Hebrews 13:5. Encourage others with the hope and peace that comes from knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Together, let us continually pray for God's intervention and mercy over the world.
