If you are the praying type please join this prayer!
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. You are the Creator of heaven and earth, the One who commands the winds and the waves, and we trust in Your sovereign power and might. Your Word declares that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1), and we stand on this promise today.
We lift up a prayer of protection over our homes, families, and communities as Hurricane Milton approaches. We declare in Jesus’ mighty name that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We plead the blood of Jesus over every household, street, and neighborhood, asking for a hedge of divine protection to surround us, just as You surrounded Job with a hedge of safety and blessing (Job 1:10).
Father, we speak to this storm in the authority given to us in Christ, just as Jesus rebuked the storm and said, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:39). We command Hurricane Milton to weaken, dissipate, and change its path, in Jesus’ name. We call forth peace over the atmosphere and declare that the winds and the waves must submit to Your command. Let this storm be brought to nothing, for we know that even the wind and sea obey You, Lord (Matthew 8:27).
We ask that You send Your mighty angels to encamp around those in the path of this storm (Psalm 91:11), guarding and delivering us from any harm. Let no destruction come near our dwellings (Psalm 91:10). Protect those who are most vulnerable, and provide shelter and safety for every person in need.
Lord, You are our rock, fortress, and deliverer (Psalm 18:2), and we put our trust in You alone. We stand in faith, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Let Your glory be revealed, Lord, as we witness this storm miraculously weaken and turn away.
We seal this prayer with thanksgiving and praise, knowing that You hear us and are already working on our behalf. We give You all the glory, honor, and praise. In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. In Jesus name, Amen.
