Hurricane Milton

A prayer inspired by Psalm 89:8-14

As family and friends down south brace for yet another storm, my heart lifts up this prayer:

O Lord God of Hosts, the one who commands angel armies, 

Who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? 

You rule the raging of the sea. 

Rule it.

When its waves rise, you still them. 

Still them.

The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours. 

Hold them.

The world and all that is in it, you have founded them. 

Steady them.

The north and the south, you have created them. 

Care for them.

You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. 

Reach down.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. 

Reign over.

Steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

Come quickly.
