Communities We're Praying For
We pray for the communities in **Portugal** (Vila Franca de Xira, Leiria, Figueira da Foz) and across **15 provinces in Afghanistan** devastated by Storm Kristin and severe winter snowstorms. These disasters have claimed dozens of lives, destroyed homes and infrastructure, killed livestock, caused widespread power outages and road blockages, and left many stranded and vulnerable amid freezing conditions. May comfort, aid, and healing reach all those suffering.
A Prayer for Affected Communities
Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your unwavering goodness, faithfulness, and sovereign power over every storm and season, displaying Your boundless love even in chaos. In this urgent crisis from the typhoon striking **Portugal** and **Afghanistan**, we cry out for those shattered by Storm Kristin—lives lost to falling trees and poles in Vila Franca de Xira, Leiria, and Figueira da Foz, with power outages, blocked roads, and destroyed homes—and the deadly snowstorms across 15 Afghan provinces claiming 61 souls, injuring over 110, demolishing 458 homes, killing livestock, and stranding hundreds in freezing isolation. Comfort families grieving loved ones or searching for the missing; heal the injured in care; soothe scared, traumatized children; empower rescue workers, first responders, and medical teams; guide government leaders and uniting communities. As You calmed the gale in Mark 4:39, send Jesus Christ’s peace and the Holy Spirit’s strength. We end in hope rooted in Christ. In Jesus-Christ's name we pray. Amen!
