Hurricanes. Sally was a surprise last year, that’s for sure! Today we are praying against hurricanes. This has always been a cornerstone prayer at Pray for Pensacola. Winds rises up off the coast of Africa and travel all the way across the ocean. But the winds and the waves know His name. They are His creation. They must submit to Him. They must stop and cease when we speak His name over it all. So we pray against hurricanes. We pray the winds die in the ocean. We pray that Pensacola, and all of our Gulf and Atlantic coastlines in the US, are not touched by hurricanes. We pray for protection. We speak the name of Jesus over every wind and natural element. We pray that the winds and waves make peace on our coasts.
And, we pray for those who have lost everything. We pray for renewed strength. We pray for a return on their money. We also pray for the reconstruction of our bridge to Gulf Breeze. We pray it is built quickly and stronger than before.
“Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake (Sea of Galilee).” So they set out. But as they were sailing, He fell asleep. And a fierce gale of wind swept down [as if through a wind tunnel] on the lake, and they began to be swamped, and were in great danger. They came to Jesus and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are about to die!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging, violent waves, and they ceased, and it became calm [a perfect peacefulness]. And He said to them, “Where is your faith [your confidence in Me]?” They were afraid and astonished, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey Him?””
