Hurricane Irene - A Call to Urgent Prayer

[Francis Frangipane]

Please join with us in faith as we unite in prayer for those along the East Coast of the USA.

Father, we acknowledge You as Lord over the United States. You reign above all gods. All power belongs to You. We thank You for Your protection and that, in spite of forecasts that have predicted many devastating storms, there has not been a single hurricane hit the USA in several years.

Today we bring the East Coast of America to You. Lord, we are not just asking for this hurricane to veer out to sea, but that the people on the East Coast turn to You during this time. We are asking that the kingdom of God would advance into the consciousness of backsliddened Christians, atheists and sinners. Lord let this be an evangelistic hurricane. Let it stimulate Wall Street to cry to You. Father, we ask for this storm to be instrumental in igniting a prayer movement on the East Coast.

Finally Lord, we humble ourselves and ask that You please forgive our many sins, our disobedience, rebellion, greed, unbelief and lusts. Lord, help us to be a nation that truly can say, "In God we trust."

We ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen.

 

Please also remember to keep the Bahamas in prayer. According to the National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA), even though New Providence and Grand Bahama largely avoided Irene's impact, the central and southeastern regions were pulverized by the storm.

Having gone through this hurricane, and that only on the edge of the storm, I appreciate prayer focused on the Lord using this powerful storm to encourage people to turn back to the Lord and prayer.  This region (East Coast and the Capitol Region) has had a wake up call through an earthquake, and no chance to snooze with this hurricane.  I agree with the focus and may the Lord use it to turn the hearts of people to Jesus and to come to Him in prayer.  In Jesus' Name. Amen.
