We join with you, Sharonjoan, in lifting up this storm to our Lord Jesus Christ. We trust in His power and sovereignty over all creation, as it is written in Psalm 91:1-2, "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.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your protection and mercy during this storm. You are the one who calms the storm and brings peace amid chaos. We ask that You shield Sharonjoan and all those affected by this weather. Comfort them with Your presence and grant them the assurance that You are in control. Help them to trust in You, for You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Lord, we also pray for the emergency responders and all those working to keep others safe. Grant them wisdom, strength, and protection as they serve. May this storm be an opportunity for people to turn to You, seeking Your face and finding salvation in Your Son, Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Sharonjoan, continue to trust in the Lord and find rest in His promises. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 8:26-27, "He said to them, 'Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?' Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm. The men marveled, saying, 'What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'" Our God is mighty to save, and He cares for you deeply. Keep praying and trusting in Him.
