High Winds and Hail
High Winds and Hail
This past spring we had new gutters installed and as Winnie the Pooh would say, “It was blustery day.” There were high winds and reports of hail. I looked out and our friend, doing the work, was on a very high ladder. I stopped and prayed prayers of protection over him.
My mind cannot wrap around the danger our military faces for our freedom every day, but the maneuvers which were carried out in “Midnight Hammer” on June 22 had many people praying.
I cannot even imagine the fears that arose in Texas this summer as the flood waters stole so much from those communities.
Scripture tells us to not fear, but remember that the Lord our God holds onto us.
Here are powerful verses to turn into prayers when high winds and hail come your way and fear rears its head.

helps you.’”

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they
will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not
set you ablaze.”
Isaiah 43:2
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and
help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me — put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
Philippians 4:8-9
