Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, this fallen world doesn’t lack for problems. People disappoint us. Decisions don’t go our way. Events fail to unfold as we expected. I’ve had my share of heartaches, Lord, and You’ve been by my side every minute. We don’t get a pass from life’s stuff just because we’re Christ-followers. That’s why our heavenly Father placed His Holy Spirit within each believer to keep us encouraged when we walk through dark valleys (John 16:12–15). But we belong to You. Therefore, circumstances don’t control our responses to problems, You do, Jesus. Since You always work things for the good of Your followers (Romans 8:28), Your Spirit influences us to make the right choices.
We pray again for Your mercy and grace for those dear water-soaked souls facing yet another hurricane in the southeast. Protect them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Protect their property, and their livelihood. You are the great I AM, so You are everything they need You to be. May these repeated storms bring people into a relationship with You, Lord Jesus.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation. Spark a national spiritual renewal and let it begin in me. In Your holy name and authority, Jesus, Amen.
