My heart is overflowing with compassionate prayers for the people who are experiencing tragic circumstances due to storms and other disasters. Thankfully, God’s love is being demonstrated through caring people to bring hope, healing, and restoration to the ones who were impacted by recent hurricanes.
With great hope for Christ’s second coming, I’m praying in faith as I focus on the merciful heart of God. We can rest in knowing natural disasters are NOT God’s judgment. We live in a fallen world. No one understands why horrific tragedy can exist. There are things we will never be able to understand in this life.
The Bible promises us that God’s mercy endures forever, and His grace is sufficient to carry us through every hard circumstance.
” Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy endures forever; To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever—The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever; The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever.”
Psalm 103:8 (NKJV) says: “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.”
When tragedies occur in our communities, we can be vessels of Christ’s love and compassion. As followers of Christ, let us arise and share the gift of God’s mercy and grace with the hurting people who have no hope. May we pray fervently for miracles to come forth amidst the despair.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your mercy and grace. Surround the hurting people in America and other countries with Your comforting presence. Draw near to those who have experienced devastation from the hurricanes and bring peace to the ones who have been deeply traumatized. Comfort those who are mourning and bring hope to the ones feeling hopeless.
Send countless workers to help with the rescue and restoration efforts. Let miracles come forth and let supernatural provision continue in the days ahead. Pour out Your Spirit in a mighty way and bring a great revival to Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, and every community that’s been affected by the storms. Let Your kingdom come and let Your will be done in our world. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Pray boldly! 🌻

As a side note, “Ooh Child” is one of my favorite songs; it’s a remake of a song first recorded in 1970. I’m sharing the link and hoping it will brighten someone’s day. This version was recorded after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and it was dedicated to the victims of the storm.
