Hurricane Isaac Aftermath

As we sit in the comfort of our own homes, let us keep in mind those who are experiencing devastation from Hurricane Isaac whether it be themselves, their homes, or their towns. 

Father, I pray for Your protection over Your people. May they feel Your loving presence and be encouraged, comforted, and guided through this difficult time. Give them endurance Lord, strength, and perseverance. Father, open doors for them and provide them with shelter, food, clean water, clothes, and stability. We pray for them to be blessed with even more than what has been damaged or lost. Lift their spirits Lord and introduce people in their lives who know You God and are filled with Your love and firm in their faith. I pray that their love and willingness to help will shine and lead to many salvations. We pray these things in Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer for US Tornado Victims

We all are aware of the seeming increase of tornadoes and storms in the U.S. and around the world. This week, about 6 dozen tornadoes have devastated many U.S. communities and regions taking 30 lives and leaving 75 injured (Sommers, 2012) and even more houses, businesses, and vehicles destroyed. Please keep these Americans in your thoughts and prayers. Some have lost everything.

Father, we lift up those devastated by these tornadoes and we ask for your divine intervention in their lives and in this situation. Holy Spirit, we thank you for comforting them. May they feel your Holy presence and run to you. Please shower them with healing and restoration physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Please use this situation for good and lead those affected and aware to Christ and unite us as one. I pray God for those who are experiencing loss from these tornadoes to look to you for understanding and be blessed with even more than what they had initially. Please wrap your merciful and gracious arms around them. Thank you God. We trust in you and know you can do all things. In Jesus' name, Amen.
