Personal Prayer
Praise God that he is in control of every storm (Mk. 4:35-39). Thank him that he does not want anyone to perish but to have everlasting life in him (2 Pet. 3:9). Confess to God your wrong response to the stormy, unexpected events in your life that leave you feeling panicky and fretful. Commit every stormy situation, as well as every good one, to God as he cares for you, restores you, and makes you strong (1 Pet. 5:7, 10). Ask God to calm any anxiety or fear that you are experiencing.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for your family and friends to experience real calm in their lives, to be carefree and not afraid, to stand firm in the Lord as Isaiah was reminded in Isa. 7:4, 9.

For the Church
Pray for the needs, fears, and storms encountered in the daily lives of missionary families.

For the Kingdom
Pray that God’s kingdom will prosper as Christians spread the words of Ps. 107:29, “[God] stills the storms to a whisper . . . he guide[s] them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love.”

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for troubled unbelievers to find victory over stormy lives in the calm that only Jesus can give.v
