Recovery from this disaster and healing from its effects will be accomplished only through the power and grace of God. Prayer is how we tap into that power. God also calls us to be specific. Please pray that those in the Hurricane Zone may:
- perservere in faith
- continue to grip on God through His Word
- strengthen patience with financial institutions to meet their demands, yet still provide for household/family needs
- rely on God to make decisions on home & living arrangements, income stream, long-term plans, educational opportunities, etc.
Check back soon and often to read the 'Hurricane Zone' pages for information and ideas so you can talk to God about specific needs.
