I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we lift up the people of East Palestine before you. Bless them, God, and assist them with Your hand and Your angels.

As the people of East Palestine are suffering, our federal government is rejecting requests for assistance. Let’s pray that God steps in and does what the government can’t.

From The Daily Wire. President Joe Biden’s administration rejected a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in response to the train derailment in East Palestine earlier this month.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

The derailment, which occurred on February 3, caused a fire that lasted several days. Officials decided to initiate a controlled release of the chemicals to mitigate the risk of an explosion; all residents within one mile of the crash site were told to evacuate, although they were permitted to return to their homes on February 8.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio that the Biden administration was rejecting its request for federal assistance because the agency said the incident did not qualify.

Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for DeWine, told Fox News that Ohio was able to get some assistance through the Department of Health and Human Services that can assist residents who need medical care as a result of the fallout from the derailment and toxic burn. …

Earlier in the day, the DeWine administration put out a statement saying that the Biden administration was not cooperating with requests to help the community through federal disaster aid. …

FEMA claimed in a statement to Fox News that it was in constant contact with DeWine’s office but it would not comment on its decision to reject disaster aid for the community. …

LIES!! How can you think you’re close to God when you lie like a rug! You count on people not to fact check unfortunately some people do. It is disgusting how you deliberately elevate partisanship in the name of God.

I don’t care that it was not a natural accident the government should help the people. Especially if their animals are dying and the people are having medical problems. The people didn’t cause this problem. Who knows what will be showing up in the future. It is like 911 all over again. Our church is going to send money to help with the relief. My prayers are going out to them for their loss and future problems.

FATHER GOD please send a strong wind to blow all harmful chemicals out to sea (not the Ohio river!) YOUR WORD says that if we eat any deadly thing it will not hurt us! I claim this promise for all involved in this train derailment; that no other animals will die and that no humans will be poisoned in JESUS NAME! Please speak to the Governor and representatives to step up and help the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio with any needs that they have because of this wreck in JESUS NAME! Amen!

    You realize for the WINDS to push that chemical cloud out to sea, the good would have to travel through many more states…. Ohio is land locked

Did not qualify? Seriously? What about the billions of dollars sent to Ukraine, with no accounting for how they will be used? What did they do to qualify? What about the boatload of help sent to the earthquake victims in the Middle East, including money and US troops?

I’m not at all suggesting that we shouldn’t be helping Ukraine and the earthquake victims. But our own people, in the midst of a horrific disaster, should have at least as much right to help from their own government.

The hatred of this administration for the American people grows more blatantly obvious with every passing day. I cannot wrap my mind around it. What will these people do when they stand before God to give account of their lives? Lord, deliver us! Grant us justice. In Jesus’Name.

Lord my Father Almighty I pray that I’m late in seeing this headline and this has changed. I pray that hearts of stone have returned to a human posture rather than satanic evil. I pray that they understand how dangerous this situation is for millions more. It’s even possible that cloud of their controlled burn traveled east towards their precious piles of cash for Ukraine and their children and grandchildren. If this has not changed It’s at a level of evil beyond measure..

We Declare full gov’t assistance and provision to the citizens of East Palestine, if it be thy will, Lord.

Father please encourage Pres. Biden, the Red Cross, etc., to reach out and help in East Palestine’s recovery efforts if it be your will.

Why do we keep expecting a man that hates America and Americans to do anything other than lift up lgbtq and trans people! He operates in the Peter Theory, where a person has been promoted above their capacity to perform! Biden is not competent to be president of anything! We need to write FEMA and the Red Cross and contribute bottled water and food to the people of East Palestine. Call your Ohio representatives and the Governor to act! FATHER GOD please send laborers to help the people of East Palestine quickly in JESUS NAME! AMEN!
