Lord, so many hearts are united in prayer
about Hurricane Irma. We grieve with those who have lost loved ones or suffered
serious injuries in St. Martin, St.
Barthelemy and Barbuda. And we pray for Puerto Ricans as they battle
this storm right now. Lord, please redirect Irma out to sea, preventing further
landfall. We pray for those in areas on Irma’s present path, such as the
Bahamas, Cuba and portions of the US. May they not take any shortcuts in
preparing. May they take the storm seriously. May people not hoard, but take
only what they need so as many people as possible will be prepared. We pray for
needed volunteers to get where they can most effectively serve. We pray for
emergency responders, churches, NGOs and others who normally rise to serve
during crises—prepare them in every way; bless and protect them. Lord, with
Hurricane Harvey’s havoc still causing so many problems in the US, we pray that
Irma will not cause further pain within that country or within others. In Jesus’
name we pray, amen.
