Father, I Pray
NOTE: As of 11 pm on July 5th, the death toll from the Texas flooding has risen to at least 43 — including 15 children; 27 girls from Camp Mystic are still missing.
Father, I pray for those who have lost loved ones due to the recent floods in Central and South Texas. I pray for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one who did not survive the flood. I pray for those who are holding on to the hope that their loved one is still alive.
Father, I pray for the little girls who were at camp sleeping in their cabin when flood waters swept them away. The suddenness of what happened must have been horrific. I pray that Your Spirit was with them to hold them close and comfort them. I pray for the parents of those little girls that Your Spirit will provide them some level of comfort as they grieve the loss of their girl.
Father, I pray for the families who traveled to the area to enjoy the holiday and awoke to the reality that lives were about to end.
Father, I pray for the families who are anxiously waiting for good news that their loved one is alive and well.
Father, I pray for those who have lost all their earthly belongings and are now wondering where to start.
Father, I pray for those who have lost businesses, those who have lost property, and those who have lost their livelihood.
Father, I pray for the First Responders, Rescue workers, medical personnel, Coast Guard personnel, volunteers, Police, firefighters, and everyone else involved in the search, recovery, and cleanup efforts. Give them energy, strength, and hope to continue. Give them rest when they need it. Give them peace and comfort for what they have seen and done.
Father, I pray for all who are providing food, shelter, clothing, and whatever else is needed to help the people impacted by the storms and floods in our area and across the nation.
Father, I pray that you will help the searchers find the lost, that medical personnel can heal the sick and injured, that the homeless may find shelter, that the fatigued may rest, and that the grieving may be comforted.
