Isaiah 57:10Please pray with me:
You were tired out by the length of your road,Yet you did not say, "It is hopeless." You found renewed strength, Therefore you did not faint. (NASB)
Heavenly Father,
Father, You are God. The hurricanes have left incredible devastation. Yet, I come to You with thanksgiving. In the rubble, there have been miracles. Babies born in the midst of the hurricane itself. People rescued after days without food or water. Loved ones reunited and even pets found after days of wandering. Yes, I come with thanksgiving. You are who You say You are:
Isaiah 25:4-5 4The storms have been devastating in so many different ways. They have left hundreds of thousands to be poor. Father, be their strength. So many are in distress and will continue to be in distress for many months and even years to come —grant them a strong spirit. You are a refuge from the storm, may Your Holy Spirit teach them to access Your place of refuge. Father have mercy. You are the shadow from the heat. You are there when the blast of these terrible storms have pushed people against the wall.
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Father, the devastation is not just of property. Many, many lives have been devastated. Many souls are crying out, "Where are You?" Help Lord. Show Yourself.
It is so tempting to say, "God does not hear. God does not see. God does not care." Yet, there is no truth to that. I strike those sentiments down in the Name of Jesus. You are the God of Hope and I proclaim there is none like You.
Psalm 34:8Father, I claim this verse for these people caught in the devastation of this storm. May they look to You and offer their trust as a sacrifice during this disturbing time.
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
We can trust in You. Establish this in our hearts. Help us to turn to YOU, O God. You calmed the seas and spoke to the wind. They obeyed Your command! May we all petition You to speak calm to our hearts and minds, and our lives as we survey the devastation.
YOU are the God of life and not of death. It is tempting to say otherwise. Establish our thoughts and prayers and lighten our hearts as the reality of the devastation becomes a part of the daily lives of these people. Call unto them, and may they cry out to You. Establish Your Spirit within them and perform the impossible: Grant them Peace of heart and mind, amidst the ruin.
Nahum 1:7So much has been destroyed: homes, buildings, the power grid. Dams are breaking and so are hearts. Everywhere people look, there is wreckage. What do they see when they look inside? Father, may they look to You and find You.
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
Please send Your Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to comfort those in these storms. Grant them strength of body and of heart. May they have hope...where there is hopelessness. Be their hope and strength in this time of dire need.
Father, may those who can go and help, do so. May those who can give, give generously, may those pray, petition You day and night. Hear our cry and have mercy.
Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.
In Jesus’ Name.
