Sometimes we get the idea that if we are standing in faith for God to do something that we will be contradicting our prayer if we also pray for preparation too. This is not contradictory prayer, but rather we want to come at IKE with a two-fold prayer strategy. Let’s stand together in faith for the storm to dissipate before it makes landfall. And let’s also pray for those in its path to make themselves ready and call first responders to a posture of readiness as well. We call in skilled workers in MS and LA to answer the call of the Lord in this hour.
We ask the Lord to release the finances needed to be a people prepared and ready to be a blessing to those in need.
We pray for all of those on the front lines … may the Lord pour out His favour and grace upon you both spiritually and physically. May you strengthen yourself in the Lord and not grow weary in doing good. May He be a wall of fiery protection around you and hide you in the shadow of His wings from the enemy’s schemes.
