Praying Against A Hurricane Named Irma
We humbly bow before You, knowing full well that you still rule over the winds and the rain. We also know that You can tell us "no" as well as "yes." You know the big picture far better than we mere human beings; however, either way, we acknowledge you as God, and You certainly do rule over a hurricane named Irma. Its birth did not surprise you. Its present state is not too big for You. Then too, You will still be God, and in control, after Irma has dissipated into a rainstorm, and then a gentle rain, until it is no more. The weather media, as You know, Lord, are indicating that this storm is a MONSTER storm. And they are saying it may just come right up the Florida peninsula, either to the east or to the west. Only You know for sure.
We pray that the land mass it encounters will weaken it. We pray that dry air, upper level disturbances and powerful windsheer would damage it. And we pray for various weather fronts to move it away so that it cannot do harm. We are in no way telling you how to be God, but we are taking advantage of Your marvelous grace promises where You have told us individually and collectively, Cast ALL our cares upon You because You care about us. And we obey and come boldly unto the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. So, we boldly pray all that we have already prayed, and we also cast our cares on you and pray "Have mercy on us O Lord! Give us a Rock-Solid Faith Foundation for facing of this storm! Diminish Irma or destroy it, please! Move it away from your children, our children, grandchildren, even great grandchildren and keep us safe. Please show yourself mighty in the taming of this storm.
As for me and my family, I pray You maintain and keep around our homes, those possessions You loan to us, and even our very selves, a hedge, bubble and shield of protection and prosperity that cannot be penetrated in any way. Nor be taken down.
AMEN
