Please, Lord, Calm the Storm

As hurricane Ida gains strength and is expected to make landfall in Louisiana tomorrow, let’s pray for those in its path. Last year, hurricanes and tornadoes ravaged the state, with no time to recover between, followed by an ice storm earlier this year. Now, just as Louisianians fight a devastating surge of the pandemic, they also face the threat of Ida’s ire on the anniversary of Katrina (August 29, 2005).

Jesus, You calmed the storm in Mark 4, we ask You, please, to do it once again. Have mercy, O God of Creation, on those who have already faced so much devastation. Spare homes, businesses, property, families, and lives, please. We ask this not just for Louisiana, but all areas affected by Ida. Give those in leadership, and also every family, wisdom now as they prepare. For those who are evacuating, provide for them a safe place. For those who have decided to stay, help them feel Your presence in powerful ways. Speak to them, comfort them, shield them, honor them with Your peace.

So many times, Father, we run from You or ignore Your advances, when all You offer us is grace, love, life, and peace. We see You as a threat to what we have or want, when true life is only found in You. Father God, You are the One Who Rides on the Clouds (Psalm 18, 68:4). Meet us face-to-face in this storm, in the pandemic, in the horror of Afghanistan, and in every situation where we find ourselves. Shake everything the lost stand on that is not You, and meet us in powerful ways. Let us see Your arms open wide, Your love spreading broader than all of the oceans and sky. And give us courage to surrender at last. To lay down at Your feet whatever we’ve been holding onto that is not You, and step into Your saving grace.
