Hello Advent Family,

Today we offer prayers for those in the path of the storm.  Pray for protection, safety and that their fears may be comforted.  I was speaking to some first time hurricane folks the other day and they were experiencing lots of fear.  Fear can be a crippling thing.  It can overwhelm us at times.  David often experienced this and turned to God to help calm his fears let’s look together at his words from Psalm 34.

I will extol the Lord at all times;
    his praise will always be on my lips.

I will glory in the Lord;
    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

Glorify the Lord with me;
    let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant;
    their faces are never covered with shame.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
