1. Prayer for Protection from Hurricanes: Seeking Shelter in God’s Presence
Psalm 91:1-2 (NIV)
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, as the hurricane season approaches Florida, I come to you seeking shelter and protection. Remind me that your presence is my ultimate refuge, and your love is the fortress that surrounds me.
Lord, I acknowledge the fragility of life and the power of nature. Help me to prepare wisely, following the guidelines of those who seek to keep me safe. Grant me discernment to know what to do and the courage to face the challenges ahead.
Just as Jesus calmed the storm with a word, speaking peace to the turbulent waters, I ask you to calm the storms that rage around me. Be my rock, my shelter, and my deliverer. Keep me and my loved ones safe from harm.
As I prepare my heart and my home for the potential impact, may your peace be my guide. Help me to prioritize what truly matters – faith, family, and community. May my trust in you be a beacon of hope to those around me.
In the name of Jesus, who is my refuge and strength, I pray. Amen.

Lord, help me to discern the necessary steps to secure my home, my family, and my community. Give me the foresight to prepare adequately, heeding the warnings of those who seek to protect us.
Just as Jesus taught the importance of counting the cost before building, grant me clarity on what to prioritize and how to allocate resources effectively. May my preparation be guided by faith, not fear.
Remind me, Lord, that true refuge is not just physical but also spiritual. Help me to prioritize my relationship with you, seeking your peace and guidance in the midst of uncertainty.
