Prayer For Protection Against Natural Calamities
Jesus, as I pass through the destruction that has overtaken my home and city, all seems surreal. This looks like something that I see on TVnot something that would happen to me. Give me the strength to fix my eyes on You in this hard time. Help me love my neighbor as You would love them. Humble me so that I graciously accept the love from my neighbor as well. Give us the power to rebuild and to trust in You for the future. God, this is so shocking to us but not to You. Give us Your comfort and peace. Amen.
Almighty and Everlasting God, I pray that You grant wisdom to those in charge and all in the community as a natural disaster approaches. Help the leaders know how to prepare without causing unnecessary fear. Help people be wise and humbled to listen to the guidance given and to take it seriously. Help people not put themselves or others in danger by writing off the possibilities of the natural disaster. Lord, I pray that You give us Your protection and let as little destruction as possible take place. Amen.
Gracious Father, I ask that You be present with my community in the coming days. There is talk of a natural disaster and fear is already circulating. God, help us take the necessary precautions but stay calm and not freak out. Let generosity grow from this fear instead of selfishness. Give us Your protection and let us trust in You alone. You, God, are in control. Amen.
Jesus, I pray for all those who were affected by the natural disaster. I cannot imagine the hurt, sadness, and anger that must come from losing homes, friends, and livelihoods in such a way. Father, I ask that You give peace to all those who are hurting and wondering how they are going to make it through this. Please be their comfort and strength. Help all of us who were not affected to step up in supporting and loving those who need it most. Thank You, God, for Your goodness even in terrible times. Amen.
Loving God, please protect my family from harm's way as this natural disaster approaches. We have taken the necessary precautions, but we are scared. I ask that You be with us and ease our fears. Help us trust in You and know that You are in control. God, my life, my home, my world is in Your hands. Let that be enough to comfort me. Be with us, God. We need You. Amen.
Father, please be with the government officials and those in charge of the aftermath of this natural disaster. Please give them the wisdom they need to know how to best move forward and how to create unity among the people. So much has been destroyed, God. Help them know what to do to help us rebuild. Help them know how to encourage generosity in this time of loss and help them bring us together. Amen.
Compassionate Father, thank You for keeping us safe through this natural disaster. I am in a strange place where I am so grateful for my life and my safety but also hurting for those who did not survive. How do I reconcile these things? God, why me? Please help me be present for those who need support right now and help me also find the support I need to rebuild my home and my life. Please keep us all safe from future harm. Amen.
Heavenly Father, be with my community. Help us come together to work to rebuild our city after this natural disaster. God, we are all hurting and mourning all who were lost. Give us the strength to work through the emotional hardships and to support one another through them. Lord, be with us and help us rebuild our lives and our sense of peace. Thank You, God, for keeping us safe. Amen.
