Deadly U.S. Floods, Europe Heat

The death toll from last weekend’s flash floods in Texas has risen to 120, with some 173 still missing, including a camp counselor and five girls from Camp Mystic, where at least 27 campers and counselors died. A total of more than 59 adults and 36 children died in Kerr County, including Mystic’s numbers, with 27 victims still unidentified.

Flash floods in Ruidoso, New Mexico, still recovering from last year’s South Fork Fire, killed three people Tuesday, including a four-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy. Whole houses were swept away in the rushing Ruidoso River that rose to 20 feet, and emergency teams managed 50-60 rescues.

Flooding from Chantal has claimed multiple lives across North Carolina. Over 100 people have been rescued.

After more than a week of temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (June 23-July 2) and several wildfires, an estimated 2,300 people have died from heat-related issues in 12 cities of EUROPE, including London, Paris, Athens, Madrid and Rome.

A wildfire on the edge of Marseilles, FRANCE has wounded at least 110 people, including nine firefighters and 22 police officers, since Tuesday.

Loving Father, please rescue those who are trapped, in danger or missing. Heal those who are injured, comfort those who mourn, provide for those in need, and rebuild the lives and homes of those who have lost so much. Speak to those who fear for the future, and show them Your plan for their salvation. Do all these things in such a way that they will know You are the One who did that. When they cry out to You, answer them. Protect the children, heal hurting hearts and provide safe shelter, electricity, food and water for those without. Place within every soul a deep thirst for You. Remove every barrier that has kept them from salvation and give them courage to choose You as their Lord. Bring loving Christians to them to share Your Good News. For Christians who are homeless now or who have lost loved ones, please carry them through this difficult time like only You can. Renew their strength and empower them to encourage others around them who are also hurting, offering them hope, a safe shoulder to cry on, and the way to salvation. Bless Christians so abundantly they will also abundantly bless others in need, as they share Your good news with the lost. Bring forth a mighty movement of Your Spirit all across each of these areas affected by floods, heat and fire, leading thousands to faith in You. Open the eyes of the spiritually blind to see You as You truly are, and awaken every heart to Your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
