A prayer for protection from a storm
Father in heaven, as this storm approaches, I bring You my fear and uncertainty. You know the strength of the wind and every person in its path. Please watch over us and help us find safe shelter. Give me a calm mind to hear warnings and follow local safety guidance. Help me reach out to a trusted person when I need support. Keep me from letting fear rush my decisions, and give me wisdom for the next step. Please protect our neighbors, especially those who are alone or have nowhere safe to go. Strengthen emergency workers and everyone helping others through this storm. Show us how to care for one another without placing ourselves in danger. Lord Jesus, when Your disciples were afraid on the water, You met them in their fear. Meet us here, too. Whatever this day holds, help us lean on Your presence. We ask for protection with honest hope, trusting Your love while we take the precautions we can. Amen
