A Kerr County Flood Prayer: Yes, Even For Sade Perkins

A Kerr County flood prayer feels more urgent than ever, even if everyone doesn’t agree. That’s ok: We’re going to pray for you too. Looking at you Sade Perkins.

After the waters rose and five young girls were swept away at Camp Mystic, the grief in Texas became impossible to ignore. Families mourned, communities gathered, and many of us turned to God—seeking clarity, comfort, and some sense of how to move forward. But not every voice joined in compassion. Dr. Christina Propst, a Houston pediatrician, publicly mocked the tragedy as political fallout, while activist Sade Perkins questioned whether grief was deserved based on race and religion.

Their comments didn’t just sting—they cracked open a deeper truth: some hearts are hardened not by distance, but by ideology. And that’s why this post matters. We’re not just praying for the grieving families—we’re praying for the ones throwing stones, too.

Yet amid the grief, some responded with harsh words instead of compassion. Dr. Christina Propst, a Houston pediatrician, shared politically charged remarks that dismissed the tragedy as fallout from local voting decisions. Meanwhile, activist Sade Perkins posted a video questioning whether the victims’ race and faith warranted public sympathy. These comments didn’t just offend—they revealed a deeper fracture in how we grieve as a nation. If such words are spoken so boldly, we must ask: how many others quietly share these views? That’s why this post matters. We aren’t just praying for the families—we’re also praying for the hearts hardened by ideology and pride.

Why Pray for People Who Say Cruel Things?

It’s a fair question. Why would we pray for someone who mocks mourning, who politicizes the death of children, who uses tragedy to push division?

Because Jesus did.

On the cross, with blood in His eyes and betrayal still fresh, He said “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) That wasn’t just poetic—it was a call to anyone who claims to follow Him. If He could pray for those hammering nails into His flesh, then we’re called to pray for people hammering pain into headlines.

Let’s be real—Dr. Propst’s comments and Sade Perkins’ video were deeply hurtful. But hurt people often speak from hurt places. That doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain why our prayers matter. Romans 12:21 says, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” If we don’t bring grace into that space, who will?

We pray for those who spoke out because our mission isn’t just to comfort—it’s to confront brokenness with hope. That’s what prayer does. It interrupts cycles of bitterness, invites repentance, and opens the door to healing—even when that healing starts in uncomfortable places.

There’s no playbook for moments like this. But there’s prayer. And we believe that prayer isn’t passive—it’s powerful. That’s why we’re inviting you to join us in this Kerr County flood prayer, not just for the families who lost so much, but for the hearts that made the pain worse. We pray for healing in Kerrville and conviction in Houston. We pray for softened hearts, reconciled communities, and a church that doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable mercy.

Lord, we bring You the ache that still lingers in Kerr County. We pray for comfort that touches grieving parents and healing that reaches even those who mocked their pain. Let Your mercy flow into places still hardened by politics or pride. Change hearts. Restore dignity. Make this tragedy a door for redemption.

We lift up the voices that chose judgment over empathy. We don’t excuse their words—we name them. But we also refuse to believe they’re beyond Your reach. You’ve turned Saul into Paul. You’ve softened kings and called sinners into sanctuaries. Do it again, Lord. Do it in Houston, do it in homes filled with resentment, and do it in hearts no one else dares to pray for.

And God, make us brave enough to keep praying. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s holy. Let every person reading this feel Your nudge—not toward outrage, but toward intercession. We trust You with the impossible. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
