*** Hurricane Irma: Pleading for mercy and help in time of need<br />
<blockquote>
Isaiah 25:4<br />
&#8220;For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.&#8221; 
<br>
<br>
Psalms 88:11<br>
&#8220;Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?&#8221; 
</blockquote>

Please pray with me:
<br />
<br /> 
Heavenly Father,
<br />
<br />
O Father of life, God of mercy. we are reeling from Hurricane Harvey and Irma is at our doorstep, threatening the nation. Have mercy, O God. Call us to seek You. 
<br />
<br />

You are the God who gives strength to the poor and needy in our distress. You are the refuge from the storm. You are a refuge and Your are strength, when the blast of the storm pushes us against the wall. Thank You Lord, for Your mercy is from everlasting. 
<br />
<br />

Many are crying out, "Where is God!" Yet, You are omnipresent. You are there. You are in every moment and You are in every place. Yes, You are there. Your presence is fierce and yet merciful. Help us Lord, we call unto You. Have mercy. 
<br />
<br />

The destruction is total. Entire islands are devastated. The destruction is beyond comprehension. The Caicos and Turks islands, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic. Father, the devastation is so great, it is not possible to understand it. There are no services for these people. There is no water, no food, no sanitation, no cover. Have mercy and may Your presence be felt. May Your testimony rise up. 
<br />
<br />

Homes are destroyed. Families are separated and searching. Children have been ripped from their mother's and father's arms. The devastation has annihilated the infrastructure. And it has brought horror to families as they assess their staggering loss. Children cry out in fear and trembling as their parents are no more. Alarm and panic are of no avail, for who is there that can help. Only You O LORD, please have mercy. 
<br />
<br />

You are there. How can they know it? How can Your presence be felt? How can these people have the strength to move forward? How is it possible? Only You know. 
<br />
<br />

Rise up, O God. Demonstrate Your sovereignty. Cause everyone there to seek You and proclaim Your sovereignty. Are there people there who know You? Are there believers there who will rise up with a testimony of Your salvation? Who are they? You know.
<br />
<br />

May Your Holy Spirit rise up. May rejoicing come from the mouths of those who know You. May there be great peace within them and may it flow from their being. Raise them up as a testimony to You: The One True and Living God. Raise up a song in their hearts and send them forth. 
<br />
<br />

Comfort these people in their losses. It is so extensive. Yet, can thy lovingkindness be demonstrated from the grave? Save these people. Through this horrific storm, save them. Pour forth Your compassion and may it be seen by many. May all these people know they need a Savior and cry out to You and find grace to help in this deep time of need. 
<br />
<br />

Can these storms be a rallying cry for unity in this nation? I ask it. May we leave our agendas and find ways to help. Father, have mercy. 
<br />
<br />

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming. 
<br />
<br />
In Jesus&#8217; Name. 
<br />
<br />
