Dear Heavenly Father
As Hurricane Milton approaches the Yucatán Peninsula, we lift up prayers for the safety of all those in its path. We ask You, Lord, to weaken this storm as it moves toward Florida.
We pray for those who need to evacuate, that they may do so safely and swiftly. For travelers flying into or out of Florida, may their journeys be timely and without incident.
Surround the people of Florida with Your protective hedge. We ask for Your safeguarding presence over the nurses and doctors sheltering in hospitals and nursing homes during this time of uncertainty.
We also pray for our courageous police, fire personnel, and all first responders. Keep them safe as they serve our communities. For those working in power and utility companies, grant them protection as well.
We remember the homeless, asking that they find shelter and safety. For those who choose to stay instead of evacuating, we pray for their protection and encourage a change of heart to leave if necessary.
For those newcomers who have recently moved to Florida, instill in them a sense of peace and calm, allowing them to focus on preparation without fear.
Calm the winds and still the ocean, Lord.
In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.
