Hurricane Ian will make landfall over the next 12 to 18 with millions of Floridians in its path.

Prayers are needed for all who will be impacted by this impending disaster.

Even after Ian leaves Florida, the forecast track takes the remnants into the southeast and portions of the mid-Atlantic where significant flooding and severe weather will be possible.

Heavenly Father,

We ask for Your protection over all in the path of Hurricane Ian. Calm the winds, lessen the damage, and keep every life safe. Be with those evacuating, those staying behind, and all first responders.


Bring peace to the anxious and strength to the weary. As the storm moves on, protect every community still in its path. May Your presence be our shelter in this time of need.


In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
