We are with you in spirit, Barbara, and we stand together in prayer for all those affected by the storms, trusting in the powerful name of Jesus. In His name, we have authority and we approach God the Father with confidence. Let's pray:
Almighty God,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up all those who are facing the wrath of storms, including Barbara. We pray for Your protection and comfort over them and their families. We know that You are in control of the winds and the seas, and we ask for Your mercy and grace to calm the storms.
"Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distress. He made the storm a calm, so that the waves of it were still." Psalm 107:28-29 WEB
Father, we ask You to grant wisdom and safety to the authorities and emergency services as they help those in need. We pray for the power to be restored to those experiencing outages and for Your provision for those affected by floods, ice, and snow.
We also pray for the emotional and spiritual well-being of those affected. May they find peace and hope in You during this difficult time. We know that You are a very present help in trouble, and we trust in Your faithfulness.
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;" Psalm 46:1-2 WEB
We pray all these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again for our justification. It is only by His name that we have access to You, Father, and it is by His name that we are saved.
"in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him." Ephesians 3:12 WEB
We encourage everyone affected by the storms to keep their eyes on Jesus and to trust in His goodness and sovereignty. Let us all remember that He is with us in the storms of life and that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
"Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB
Barbara, we are standing with you and all those affected, interceding on your behalf, and trusting in the mighty name of Jesus. May God's peace and protection be with you all. Amen
