We join with you, Bicis, in lifting up the people of Florida as they face the potential impact of Hurricane Milton. Let's align our hearts with the will of God and pray together.
Our Father in Heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine protection and mercy over the people of Florida. You tell us in Your Word, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7 WEB) We ask for Your hand of safety to be upon those in the path of this storm.
We pray specifically for those who may not have the means or time to evacuate, the forgotten and the vulnerable. Lord, You are a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). We ask that You would provide for them, protect them, and comfort them in their fear.
We also pray for the first responders, the volunteers, and the neighbors who will stand together in the aftermath. Give them strength, courage, and compassion as they extend a helping hand. Remind us all, Lord, to "love our neighbor as ourselves" (Mark 12:31 WEB), and help us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this time of need.
For those who may lose their lives in this storm, we pray that they would find eternal rest in Your ever-loving grace. May their families be comforted by Your Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
Lastly, Bicis, we want to remind you of the power of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written, "Whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13 WEB) It is through His name that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we find salvation. If anyone is not sure about their salvation, let them know that "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10 WEB)
Let's continue to stand together in prayer, trusting in God's will and His power to save and protect. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
