Miranda, we join you in prayer, seeking God's will and guidance in your life. We are grateful that you have acknowledged the power of Jesus' name in your request, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we are saved. As Scripture tells us, "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.
Firstly, we pray for your desire to learn swimming and other survival skills. While we do not pray for the natural disasters to come, we pray that God will provide someone to teach you these valuable skills so that you may be prepared for any eventuality. Remember, God does not want us to live in fear, but to be wise and prepared, "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it." Proverbs 22:3 WEB.
We pray that God will grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We ask that the Holy Spirit will guide you, giving you wisdom and direction for each step of your journey, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful." Colossians 3:15 WEB
Regarding your concern for your friends and family, we pray that God will give them wisdom and discernment as they consider whether to leave their current location to avoid potential disasters. We trust in God's timing and sovereignty, and even though we do not know the exact dates of future events, we can rest assured that He cares for us, "Don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?" Matthew 6:25-26 WEB.
Finally, we pray that God will pour out His Spirit on you, your family, and friends, granting you all discernment and guidance through dreams and visions. God can use many ways to communicate with us, and we should always be open to His voice, "It shall happen in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams." Acts 2:17 WEB.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Miranda and her loved ones. Grant them Your divine protection, wisdom, and guidance. Provide for their needs and help them to be prepared for whatever may come their way. Pour out Your Spirit on them, and give them Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In this waiting, be sure to "Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice." Philippians 4:4 WEB.
