In moments of destruction, uncertainty, and hardship, we are reminded of the power of prayer and the strength that comes when we unite in faith. Today, we lift up the communities across rural America, from Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, to Tennessee and Virginia—areas hit hard by storms and now preparing for the impact of Hurricane Milton. Together, as believers, we call upon the miracle-working power of God to shield these regions, comfort the hearts of those affected, and provide His unmistakable presence in their midst.

Standing Firm in Faith

Rural America often exemplifies resilience and steadfastness. The people in these regions face both the beauty and the challenges of living close to the land. Yet, it’s in these rural areas that we frequently witness deep-rooted faith, communities banding together, and people who understand the value of leaning on the Lord. Now, more than ever, they need our prayers.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Let this scripture be the foundation of our prayers, that no one will feel alone, and that God's presence will be felt as they brace for the storms ahead.

A Call to God's Army

This is a time for all of us to come together as one body in Christ, united in prayer and petition. Whether we live in these affected areas or are far from the path of these storms, we are all part of God's army—called to intercede for those who may be overwhelmed, displaced, or grieving the loss of homes, livelihoods, and even loved ones.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20)

Through our collective prayers, we invoke God's divine protection and provision over each person and household in the path of Hurricane Milton and those still recovering from past storms. We are asking for miracles—believing that God, who calmed the stormy seas, will bring peace to those in turmoil.

The Power of Miracles

Throughout scripture, we see God’s miracles bring healing, safety, and peace. Jesus calmed the storm with a single command. He healed the sick, fed the multitudes, and resurrected the dead. We know that God’s power has not diminished, and it is with faith that we can ask Him to intervene today.

"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." (James 5:16)

Let’s stand in that truth, trusting that as we pray, God will move. He can still calm storms, heal the broken, and provide miraculous protection.

Prayer for Those Affected by the Storms

Join us as we lift up our hearts in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for those affected by the recent storms and for those in the path of Hurricane Milton. We ask for Your divine protection over each life, that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.

Lord, we pray for safety—shield homes, families, and businesses from destruction. We ask for Your provision for those who have lost so much, that You would restore what has been taken and give them hope in the midst of hardship.

We also ask for healing, comfort, and peace. Calm the anxieties of those preparing for the unknown. Remind them that You are with them, and that no storm is greater than Your power.

Lord, we call upon Your miracles, believing that You are still able to part seas and calm storms. May Your presence be felt across these states—Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia—bringing peace, restoration, and revival.

In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Joining Hands Across Communities

As we pray for these areas, let's also remember that storms aren't only physical—they can be emotional and spiritual as well. If you know someone in the affected regions, reach out to them. Offer encouragement, share a word of hope, and remind them that they are not alone in this battle. We are all a part of God's family, and together we can shine the light of Christ in the darkest of times.

Faith in Action

Beyond prayer, let’s look for ways to serve and support those affected by these storms. Whether through donations, volunteering, or sharing resources, we can embody the love of Christ by being His hands and feet on the ground. As we support our brothers and sisters in rural America, let’s remember that God often works through us to bring hope and healing.  Look into finding local groups that are hands on and working directly with those recovering.

Together, we can call upon miracles and experience the power of God's presence in every storm. May He protect, provide, and guide us all as we stand firm in faith for our fellow believers and communities.

In Him,

Kellie & Bradley
