The latest Hurricane Hilary updates suggest the hurricane has weakened below the threshold for a tropical cyclone, the National Weather Service (NWS) said on Monday. This means that all tropical storm warnings issued for Southern California counties have been canceled.
Hilary made landfall in Baja California, Mexico, on Sunday as a Category 4 hurricane. However, it has since weakened as it moved north and is now a tropical storm. The National Weather Service said Hilary is expected to continue to weaken and dissipate over the next few days. However, it could still produce some rain and localized flooding in parts of Nevada and Oregon. Along with this news comes the call for prayer for all involved, from businesses to residences. They will all need help in the days ahead. We can only pray the next round of Hurricane Hilary updates will be that it’s finally over.
Responding to Hurricane Hilary updates with God’s Word
There will be many who will need comfort at this time. Here are some Bible verses you can read with them as you help them begin the restoration phase of their lives:
- Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
- Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
- John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
- Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Today’s Prayer: Comforting those suffering from the damage of Hurricane Hilary
Almighty God, we come to you today in prayer for those who have been affected by Hurricane Hilary. We pray for those who have lost homes and businesses. We pray for those who may be missing and for those who are injured. We pray for those who are struggling to cope with the aftermath of the storm.
We know that you are the God of all comfort, and we ask that you would comfort those who are grieving. We ask that you would provide for those who have lost everything. We ask that you would give them strength to rebuild their lives. We also pray for those who are working to help those who have been affected by the storm. We pray for the first responders, the volunteers, and the relief workers. We ask that you would protect them and give them wisdom and guidance.
We pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
