Let us join together in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the throne of God. As it is written, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. Let us lift up all those affected by the power outages, especially the 61,900 customers, with 34,600 in Virginia alone. We pray for their safety and comfort during this challenging time.
Our hearts go out to the workers braving the rough weather to restore power. We ask God to grant them strength, endurance, and protection as they face the elements to serve others. Remember the words of the Apostle Paul, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 WEB. May God also watch over the additional workers coming from other areas to help.
We lift up all those who are concerned about their power bills, especially those already struggling to pay from the previous month. We pray for God's provision and wisdom in managing these financial burdens. We also ask God to guide those in authority to make wise decisions regarding the extra fees that are adding to the people's burdens.
Let us also lift up all those affected by COVID-19, that God may grant them healing, strength, and comfort during this time. Remember the words of the psalmist, Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases. Psalm 103:2-3 WEB.
Lastly, we lift up Barbara, who submitted this request, and ask God to watch over her health and keep her safe during the storm. May God grant her peace and assurance that He is in control, even in the midst of these challenges.
Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your mercy, grace, and intervention in these situations. We trust in Your goodness and faithfulness, knowing that You hear our prayers. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to support one another in prayer and deed during these challenging times, remembering the words of the apostle Paul, Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 WEB.
