Thank You for preserving me despite this bad weather. Though I wish we could have bright sunny days every day, I know periods of bad weather are inevitable. However, I pray that You would calm the storm and return to good weather again.

The world these days is full of unpredictable and adverse weather patterns. Some parts are currently experiencing storms with excessive rainfall, storms and floods.
While we can’t control the weather, we can pray for the Lord to extend His merciful hand and calm the storms.
In the book of Matthew 8:23-26, Jesus calmed a furious storm that came up on the lake where He was sailing with His disciples. Terrified for their lives, the disciples cried out to Jesus to save them, and He rebuked the storm.
So don’t despair because the Lord is in control. Nothing that happens on earth takes Him by surprise. Bad weather events serve as opportunities to encounter God’s miracle power when we seek His help.

I present my family and I before You concerning our safety during this bad weather. Please protect us from harm as we face this storm. Let us not be overwhelmed with fear and anxiety but fix our eyes on You, our only source of hope.
Though we may be prepared with emergency supplies, You alone can guarantee our safety. And so we surrender our lives to You.

Safety is a main concern during extreme weather, such as storms.
If a storm happens when your family members are not home, you might be increasingly worried as you don’t know the state they are in. Praying for your family’s safety is the best thing you can do for your peace of mind.
Read Acts 27, a relatable story of the apostle Paul, who encountered a horrible storm while a prisoner on a ship to Italy. His travel companions were so dreaded that they could not eat. You can imagine the disarray on the ship as all the crew members feared for their lives.
However, Paul received a comforting message from the angel of God that nobody on the ship would die if they all kept aboard. He encouraged them to eat and gave thanks to God.

Let me hold steadfast in Your promise that You will lead us through dark valleys such as this storm. Thank You. Amen.”

“Why are you so scared? Don’t you have faith?” Jesus asked His disciples after quieting the storm. This is because He caught them in a state of panic. The same applies to you.
Does your state of frenzy show a lack of faith, or do you hold your peace knowing that God will perform a miracle once you have prayed? In bad weather, it is advisable not to panic but remain calm.
This allows you to think of all possible solutions to your problems, beginning with prayers.
Let the Bible verse Psalm 107:28-30 bring comfort and restoration to your heart. It says, “They cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.”
Will These Prayers Really Work?
Of course! We serve a miracle-working God, don’t we? When you pray without doubting, the prayers will definitely work.
As illustrated in the Bible through several stories, God always answered His children who cried out to Him in distress during storms.
Can I Start Praying Right Now?
Of course, you can. There is no right or wrong time to pray.
You can approach the Lord at any moment because His ears are always open to hear us. So start praying right now and commit your worries and fears to Him.
Can I Say This Prayer With My Family?
Why not!? Family prayers are the best in stressful situations such as bad weather because they unite all family members.
You might be apart from your family during storms, but you can always pray for them or send them text prayers and encouraging messages.
