The more we hear about the losses and devastation from Hurricane Helene the more my heart hurts for those hit by this huge storm. That is why we take time today to stop and pray.
I ask you to read through, pray through and stop and pray through this list. But I also ask you to give to the relief efforts. See my notes below in how you can give.
Isaiah 65:24 NLT
I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
Pray for those who lost loved ones. Pray for those who haven’t been found.
Pray for those who have lost their homes and businesses.
Pray for those who are cut off from the supplies desperately needed.
Pray for those who have lost electricity and communication.
Pray for those who are serving in the recovery effects.
And finally, pray for those who need the hope only Jesus gives.
I remind you to make a difference by choosing to serve and to give. If you are a trained volunteer, go. If you can join a relief group in your area that is helping, volunteer and serve. There are so many places gathering supplies to give. Choose to go to one or more and donate items.
In our local area there is a drive at the speedway on Friday, many local schools are collecting supplies, Harbour towing is collecting, Rockingham Chiropractic where we go is collecting and so many more.
1 John 3:17 NLT
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
There are also many organizations that are taking money donations. You are welcome to give to The Community Fellowship and designate it for missions. Go to https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving or to our mission partner at https://www.sbcv.org/helene
Choose today to stop and pray for those in need.
James 5:16 NLT
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
