As
Hurricane Dorian approaches the United States, fear can sweep over us like a tidal wave!
God knows this and has already given us comfort in these words:
Proverbs
3:24-26, Contemporary English
Version (CEV)
…you will rest without a worry
and sleep soundly.
So don’t be afraid
of sudden disasters
or storms that strike
those who are evil.
You can be sure
that the Lord
will protect you from harm.
and sleep soundly.
So don’t be afraid
of sudden disasters
or storms that strike
those who are evil.
You can be sure
that the Lord
will protect you from harm.
As
you read and re-read those comforting words from God’s Word, what words would
you use to claim that promise in prayer? For example:
Heavenly
Father, no matter how scary things seem, we claim Your protection for we truly
believe You want only good for us and not harm. Thank You for letting us know
we have nothing to fear as we rest in the strength of Your love. Praise You,
Lord, for protecting me and my home, church, community, and loved ones in Jesus’ Name, amen.
