Let us Pray

Let us Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, We come before You with humble hearts, knowing that You are sovereign over the winds, the snow, and the fury of the storm. You spoke creation into being, painting the world with Your majesty, and You still hold every gust and flake in Your mighty hands today. Remind us of Your nearness, even when the world feels cold and uncertain.

Lord, we lift up our guardians—police officers, firefighters, EMTs, utility crews, highway workers, dispatchers, and all who will put themselves in harm’s way to serve others. Grant them courage and resilience. Give them strength beyond their own, wisdom in each decision, and a sense of Your presence as they brave the elements. Sharpen their judgment. Keep them alert, safe, and able to return home to their families, letting their service be a beacon of hope in the darkness.

Father, we pray especially for the elderly, the disabled, the vulnerable, and those who feel isolated in this season. We ask for Your covering over every community in the path of this winter storm. Protect families in their homes—let their walls stand strong and their hearts be filled with comfort. Guard those who must travel. Provide warmth where the cold threatens, light where darkness lingers, and peace where fear tries to take hold. Let love and compassion be the fire that banishes despair.

We lift up our first responders and those who live alone. Place Your angels around them, encircling them with Your protection. Stir the hearts of neighbors, churches, and caregivers to reach out, to check on one another, and to share warmth—both physical and spiritual. Let no one be forgotten in the cold; instead, let kindness be the thread that weaves every community together in this season of trial.

We also lift up the animals—pets, livestock, and wildlife—who face the storm’s bite. Provide shelter from the freezing winds. Protect them from harm, hunger, and fear. Empower their caretakers with wisdom and compassion. Soften every heart to show mercy and responsibility, that all Your creatures may find safety and care in this time.

Lord, we ask that this storm would pass with minimal damage, minimal loss, and maximum grace. Where power is lost, restore it swiftly. Where roads are dangerous, let Your hand guide each traveler. Where fear rises, let faith rise higher and hope burn brighter. Transform every hardship into a testimony of Your goodness and the resilience of Your people.

We trust You, not just in calm weather, but in the midst of the storm. In the howling wind and swirling snow, teach us to lean on You, to find courage in Your promises, and to remember that even the fiercest night will yield to Your dawn.

You are our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thank you, 

In His love,
