They sure could use our prayers.
It's good to remember that God, who is Creator over all the universe, is in control of the
weather, too. This should give the believer great comfort, for even in the disasters, God is
orchestrating His good plan and He will take care of those who are His. Trials, are after all, to
grow our faith in Him.
Psa 105:32 He gave them hail
for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
Psa 148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea
creatures and all deeps, 8 fire and hail,
snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling His word!
Psa 78:26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His power He directed the south wind.
Psa 65:5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;
Psa 65:6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might;
Psa 65:7 Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
Psa 65:8 They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.
