Emergency Post

Well, as a lot of you probably know, there is a huge hurricane (Irene) pushing it's way up the eastern coast. Tomorrow NYC is expected to be flooded with possibly over eight feet of rain. People are gathering in shelters. Faith is being lost as people think of all of their earthly possessions about to be destroyed as opposed to thinking about the fact that God works all things for the good of those who love Him. Satan is at work, telling people that they need things to be happy, telling them they may not survive the storm, telling them that God has abandoned them. And people believe those lies, even though God would never leave nor forsake His children. So, I'm posting this and leaving it in the Lord's hands to bring people to see it.

Matthew 8:19-20: “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."  " 

Please, take a few moments now to pray for these people--not only the residents of NYC, but also everyone that will be hit with the storm. Pray that not only, if it is His will, that God would protect them, but also pray that those who do get hurt--physically or emotionally--and robbed may be comforted by Him. Pray also that God may use this time of chaos to draw people closer to Him.
