Traditionally Free Republic has tried to keep truly important topics to one or two threads.
I am creating a prayer and comment thread to parallel the Irma threads and keep down the childlike quips that are slowing down the other threads.
Have a religious comment? Have a relative in need of prayer? Please post it here.
The other threads are slow enough with all the graphics, which becomes more important as people try to evacuate, moving to cell and tablet communication.
So please play nice and move discussions here.
What is your son’s intended destination?
Amen, and prayer bump.
God, bless and protect all who are in harm’s way, or recovering from harm - protect all and mitigate effects of hurricane, wild fire, earthquake, tsunami, flood, nuclear, disease, and any and all natural or man made disasters! We pray for a continuation of unity of us all from all over, as per the example provided by Your Own in Texas and Louisiana
Bump and thanks for the thread.
wastoute, I’d tell him to take 96 to Columbus, GA.
JMHO.
He’s out of storm surge range. That’s what kills people.
Prayers.
Thank YOU
His sister lives in Alabama.
Prayers to all Freepers in Irma’s.
I am with the elderly mother of a friend who is on the gulf side across from Orlando. She is married and has 2 dogs and 2 cats so they are staying home.
Please pray for her and hubby and especially for her mom up north. The stress is much.
A verse was brought to my attention the week of the eclipse and I made it into a desktop image.
Psalm 9:1-2
I WILL give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I WILL tell of all Your miracles.
I WILL be glad and exult in You;
I WILL sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
(We will do this when it is over and I was just thinking when it is over we should praise Him on this thread.)
Max Lucado: Hurricane Irma is coming. Where is God?

Answer:
We kicked Him out.
Remember?
Remember all you people who want to blame Him for not helping us.
Just saw the thread title to not forget the west that is burning. Same prayers, for families and first responders. I wonder if the news out west is the opposite of that on the east and south, with more info on the fires. I’ll go watch.
Bless you all, we need your prayers!
With you Texas booster. May our nation be joined in prayer and push this storm from seeing the worst effects and for protection of so many in harms way.
In this we pray to Christ our Lord.
Thank you so much! We’re gonna really need them. We join in!
Thanks for mentioning the fires out West. Prayers up for my family and friends in Montana! They’re catching hell!
Amen!
Continuing in prayer with a heavy heart for extreme mercy, for God’s unmerited favor and healing of our land. May this serve to bring people to their knees before the Lordship of Jesus in repentance no matter where Irma goes. O Lord, have mercy.
Praying.
A Prayer to Avert Storms and Hurricanes
Father, all the elements of nature obey your commands.
Calm the storms and hurricanes that threaten and turn
our fear of your power into praise of your goodness.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.....Amen.
