While Americans are still reeling from the unexpected mass impact of the inland hurricane with Helene, yet another powerful storm is poised off the coast of Florida ready to wreak havoc. IFA intercessors across the nation have been praying about the results of Helene–praying for families, praying for disaster relief, praying for infrastructure, praying for leadership. And we are now praying about Milton.
There are many challenges in disaster recovery. If you have never experienced being in a natural disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, fire or flood, you may not have thought of the kinds of decisions and actions that go into relief efforts. Some are short term, but much of the recovery effort is a long-term project. In an attempt to provide truth, prayer direction, and hope in this shared disaster, IFA is encouraging you to use our comments section to both ask for prayer if you or a loved one is in the path of the storms, or to offer prayer, encouragement and hope to those who need it. We will continue to offer updates from our relief partner, CityServe, who is currently on site in the southeast and is already positioning for efforts in Florida.
Here are some points of prayer over the situation:
- Pray for the immediate needs of families to be met: Rescue. Medical attention. Food and Water.
- Pray for roads and bridges to be evaluated and repaired to bring more accessibility to areas hardest hit.
- Pray for wise management and distribution of relief resources. It can be difficult to manage a wide supply chain of donations, maintain safe and organized storage, and then distribute items needed to the appropriate locations and families.
- Pray for housing solutions for families who have been displaced.
- Pray for the body of Christ to lead the way in offering help, prayer, support, and community.
- Pray for the restoration of infrastructure, including electricity, gas delivery, road repair, and communications.
- Pray about debris clean-up, which is a huge undertaking that requires many people and the right equipment to reach strategic locations.
- Pray for families who are dealing with loss of life, loss of homes, and loss of jobs.
- Pray that Americans would continue to actively help efforts, donate toward recovery, and pray for those in need.
- Pray for those providing assistance: linemen, clean-up crews, aid workers, truck drivers, pilots, cooks, chainsaw teams, civil engineers, construction crews, warehouse workers, counselors, and general volunteers.
- Pray for mayors, city workers, officials, firefighters, police, and the governors of affected states.
- Pray for affected citizens to be able to vote in the elections in affected states and for safe and legitimate voting methods.
- Pray for long-term projects to rebuild homes, towns, and businesses and revitalize communities.
- Pray for those in the path of Milton who are yet to be impacted. Pray for strategic preparations.
- Pray for the Lord to calm the storm and for minimal impact.
- Pray for the body of Christ to shine in the midst of darkness in our nation!
IFA is holding a time of prayer over the next 24 hours beginning at 5pm ET this evening on our SPECIAL EMERGENCY conference call line for all of these efforts and the incoming storm Milton. Dial (605) 472-5104 and use code 4999075# to join the call.

Biggest Hallelujahs 🤩in total AGREEMENT with Prayer Warriors TAKING AUTHORITY OVER THESE STORMS BY SPEAKING TO THE STORM ITSELF as JESUS DID in Mark 4. He didn’t pray to His Father but spoke TO the storm. . He died to give AUTHORITY BACK TO HIS BELIEVERS

Father, we ask for the release of your pre-ordained provision to meet the needs of those disadvantaged with unique physical,, emotional , medical requirements including the homeless and those with pets or animals that need your support.

Thank You for Your love, mercy and grace. Thank You for the protection across the country, and be with those victims, the families, pets, property, livelihoods.
May this be a turning point for those needing to be closer to You,

May difficult times be a motivation for all of us to get our lives straight.
Show us where we are not aligned with Your will

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Jesus– even the wind and waves obey you. Help those who have been broken by this storm, protect the weak and help them hold on, and protect the strong who are helping them. Protect the first responders, the rescuers, the restoration construction workers, Thank You for the body of Christ who are on the front lines bringing hope, help, medicine and relief to so many. Help those who are counselors, those who are in the middle of this trauma. Pour your grace and favor on them. Help people find their missing loved ones. In Your mercy, Lord, hear our prayers. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Yes Lord please be with the First Responders and give them your Supernatural strength I pray that the National Guard and all those who are being activated to serve will be enough to work normal shifts so they do not get overwhelmed and tired as well. They have families too and those families need them at home soon, please give creative ideas to all who are at the ground zero in these areas in Jesus name amen
I pray for all the people who have been impacted by Hurricane Helene. I pray that God will meet all their needs. I pray that they will know that there are many people interceding for them in prayer. I pray that they feel the love of other Americans but most of all I pray that they feel God’s arms wrapped around them in love.
I pray for Florida as they prepare for the impact of Hurricane Milton. May God be with them and hold them in his arms. May God give them the strength that they need to get through this.
I pray Father if these are ill winds You dismantle the storm.
father, we know that you can literally turn this, you can steer it away. Please blow it out to the sea. please turn it away as a mighty display of your power. Many of us have the faith to believe this is possible! some of us are so weary with all the bad news of our nation and we confess that we are fearful. Some of us are also sorrowfully repentant for being too lazy for too long. I know I am. Thank you for waking us up.
I ask for a Great and mighty deliverance from this horrible storm in the name of Jesus. I ask it as a sign that you do still love us and that we are forgiven, but please change us and change our hearts in Jesus name we ask , Amen .
FACT: Father, the state of Florida has declared and taken upon them as a STATE MOTTO: “In God We Trust”! It was adopted by the Florida legislature as part of the state seal in 1868. This is also the motto of the United States and is a slight variation on Florida’s first state motto, “In God is our Trust.” In 2006, “In God We Trust” was officially designated in state statute as Florida’s motto. SO GOD, WE DECREE and DECLARE that the STATE of FLORIDA TRUSTS IN YOU for EVERYTHING that they have need of! ABBA, THEY NEED YOU NOW!!! We ask for You to release EMERGENCY ANGELS to help those in need and stand as a wall of protection against the tempest of fear, destruction and annihilation, in the name of Jesus! WE SPEAK LIFE over FLORIDA! LIFE!!! LIFE!!! LIFE!!! We, as Intercessors, perform a prophetic act and B-L-O-W this hurricane from the northeast in the gulf, to the southwest, in Jesus’ name! That it will go AROUND the Florida peninsula and AWAY from the state, MIRACULOUSLY, in the NAME of JESUS! Father, protect all people, animals, homes, boats/ships, emergency responders and support, and plant life that is close, and WRAP YOUR ARMS OF LOVE around the STATE OF FLORIDA, in Jesus’ Name we ask in FAITH BELIEVING that WITH YOU, GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! YOU are the GOD of MIRACLES! DO IT AGAIN, ABBA! YOU are the GOD of MERCY! HAVE MERCY on FLORIDA, ABBA! YOU are the GOD OF LOVE! WE LOVE YOU, LORD! LET LOVE, LOVE, EXTRAVAGANT LOVE B–L–O–W THIS hurricane AWAY FROM THE LANDFORMS, in Jesus’ Holy and MIGHTY NAME! We thank you Father, for hearing our Prayers! Your word says where two or more are gathered in Your name, YOU are in the midst of it all! WE ARE CRYING OUT as INTERCESSORS for THE STATE OF FLORIDA! COME, LORD, JESUS, COME! BE GLORIFIED GOD! GLORIFY YOUR BEAUTIFUL SON, JESUS CHRIST! WE LIFT YOUR NAME HIGH-HIGH-HIGH!!!!!!! Thank you Lord! Thank you for Your tender loving MERCY over Florida! In Jesus Holy Name, we pray!
In agreement! Father God we call upon YOU to take control, work miracles, wonders, and signs, even to totally dismantle this storm, even send it SOUTHWEST AWAY from Florida! Let your mercy and grace be upon this USA Land and protect, provide, and deliver us from this storm! Let your mighty hand dispatch angels of protection! Thank you, Yeshua, our Lord and Savior, to YOU is all the glory given! Let you miracles arise and breathe LIFE into this USA and its people. In the name of Jesus, we pray!
Andrea, AMEN! AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN!
Our son Chris Holley is staying at his home thru Milton. Pray for God’s protection over him. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, we know You can diminish Milton to a whisper. We know You can protect everything down to each blade of grass. Please direct Chris’ thinking so he moves in accordance with You. Thank You Father. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Holy Spirit. Amen
Hi there. I am in Sebring. I follow your page, thank you so much as we navigate this hurricane count with my on prays too but I do asking prays for me I am feeling stress about this because I do leaving in a mobil home and my home is not that strong. I will be go to a friend of mine but we both are first responders. My husband works for the county and I work for the local hospital. God bless you.
Praying for you Milena as you ride out the storm. Thank you for being a first responder. Praying for your own family’s safety as you help others!
As I read your prayer request Milena, My Tribute by Andre Crouch ran through my head…….
How can I say thanks
For the things You have done for me?
Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove Your love for me;
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to Thee
I pray when this is all over, both you and your husband sing this over all the mercy God granted you throughout Milton. May Milton be diminished but you both fearless. May Milton be diminished but you and your husband empowered. May Milton be diminished and all God’s people sing in praise. I am praying for you.
For my b-I-l and s-i-l in Venice, Florida
Friends also
Pray for loved ones in Clearwater, FL and Linda in Port Charlotte, FL, not a believer, my sister & husband in Tamarac, FL, also not believers; the Lord show them His Salvation, each accepts and see He is their Protector Savior…God downgrade Milton to minor rain, put His finger on it to dissipation. I
Do pray for Jerusalem, & Israel daily, my family trying to get home
To USA.
Prayers for unexpected healing that God will provide you with the strength/power to listen to God’s words are implanted the ability to know he is covering you through the difficulties. Never forget the spirit of overflowing prayers are with you.
I am very hesitant to write this and it might be seen as foolish or superstitious. However, Governor DeSantis put a note at the Western Wall in 2019 for no hurricanes that year and I saw what happened to Hurricane Dorian. It was a strong category 5 hurricane and projected to hit Florida. It slowed to a crawl and never made landfall in Florida. Is there anyone in Jerusalem, Israel that could put a note in the Western Wall asking for mercy and no landfall?
…if not from your lips to God’s ear. Lord, please intercede. Holy Spirit, please make this prayer perfect in the Father’s hearing. Amen
Praying that Jesus will do miracles in all areas of these storms and that people will REPENT and turn to Christ. Let this be a time of miraculous intervention!
Praying for our dear friends in Florida as they face the coming storm Milton. We stand and speak to the storm in the power of Jesus and say “CALM!”
Amen and amen!
