Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up all those affected by Hurricane Beryl from Texas to Vermont. Your Word assures us in Psalm 46:1 that You are "our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Lord, be the refuge and strength for those who have lost loved ones, homes, and possessions. Comfort them in their grief and provide for their needs.
Father, we also pray for those enduring extreme heat. As You promised in Isaiah 41:10, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Uphold and protect them, providing relief and resources to endure this season.
Thank You, Lord, for Your unending grace and mercy. We trust in Your sovereignty and goodness, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
