I can’t find the words with which to describe my feelings at the havoc Hurricane Helene wreaked.

The most touching account was about the community who did not insure their homes because of the rising insurance payments.  And now, their homes are leveled out!

Quo vadis? Where do we go from here?  

What a double tragedy for them- no homes,  no insurance! 

But is all lost? NO! God will surely show up strong for them.

 For the LORD is merciful,  gracious, compassionate, and does not stay angry! Just as a great dad loves his children, so HE loves and cares for those who fear and worship Him. He knows how fragile we are, and will not allow us to be tempted beyond our capacity. See Psalm 103: 8-14.

My concern is not about God,  (He is faithful), but those who are affected by the disasters. 

After experiencing a tornado, I know how long it takes to process the trauma!

 Although God protected us through it,  and only a few shingles ran off with the winds, I was traumatized! 

Even though I can’t even imagine what they are going through because  It’s so overwhelming, I know that God will always be there for them, during this season of troubles, as He was for us.

Please, let us Pray:

*Join me to pray that God comforts,  encourages and strengthens them as they start a life after the hurricane.

*Pray that hope will rise again in them, to press forward, and not give up. 

*Pray that fear, ringing in the ear and premonitions of evil ceases from tormenting them.

*Speak healings to their minds and relationships, that instead of dissensions,  and frustrations, they will have peace of mind, peace with one another, be helpful, cooperative, understanding and hopeful. 

*Ask God to send them help, as well as to touch families,  churches, and nonprofits to constructively reach out to all t

victims of disasters.

*Pray that during and after this trauma, they will bond strongly with God, find solace in Him, so that their minds and strength will be renewed, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
