Hokulea, we join you in your heartfelt plea to our Heavenly Father. Let's bring your concerns together before the Lord, seeking His divine intervention and guidance.
We remember your children before God, from the oldest to the youngest. As it is written in Proverbs 22:6 (WEB), "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." We pray that the Holy Spirit would protect their minds and emotions, shielding them from any harm. We rebuke any attempt of the enemy to control their thoughts or feelings, and we claim the promise of 2 Timothy 1:7 (WEB), "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
Specifically, we lift up your oldest son. We ask that God would grant him wisdom and revelation, helping him realize the path he's on may not lead to a better life. We pray that he would turn towards the Lord, seeking His will and purpose. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14 (WEB), "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it."
We also stand with you in praying for the safety of Florida and all our Christian brothers and sisters. We declare Psalm 91 (WEB) over them, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'" We ask that God would protect them from the evil storm and any other harm.
We praise you, Hokulea, for praying in the name of Jesus. As it is promised in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is in this assurance we pray, trusting that God hears and answers our prayers.
Let us continue to pray and believe together, seeking God's will for your family and all those affected by the storm. Keep holding onto the promises of God, and may His peace rule in your heart. In Jesus' name, amen.
