UPDATE: The Biden administration is sending 1,000 soldiers to states affected by the storm. The soldiers will reportedly work with FEMA to reach impacted areas and deliver supplies. President Biden is set to visit North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida soon.
Hurricane Helene was one of the deadliest storms America has ever seen, claiming the lives of more than 100 people. Areas in North Carolina and Tennessee are still reeling. Some residents are still stranded (in Boone, NC, home of Samaritan’s Purse). Others are still without power and water. Many people have lost everything. Reports have referred to the devastation as North Carolina’s Katrina.
Our prayers and intercession will certainly make a difference.
From AP News. A crisis unfolded in Asheville as officials pledged to get more water, food and other supplies to flood-stricken areas without power and cellular service Monday, days after Hurricane Helene ripped across the U.S. Southeast. The death toll from the storm approached 100.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
At least 91 people across several states were killed. A North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville reported 30 people killed.
Gov. Roy Cooper predicted the toll would rise as rescuers and other emergency workers reached areas isolated by collapsed roads, failing infrastructure and widespread flooding.
Supplies were being airlifted to the region around the isolated city of Asheville. Buncombe County Manager Avril Pinder pledged that she would have food and water to the city by Monday. …
Officials warned that rebuilding from the widespread loss of homes and property would be lengthy and difficult. The storm upended life throughout the Southeast. Deaths also were reported in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.
Cooper implored residents in western North Carolina to avoid travel, both for their own safety and to keep roads clear for emergency vehicles. More than 50 search teams spread throughout the region in search of stranded people.
One rescue effort involved saving 41 people north of Asheville. Another mission focused on saving a single infant. The teams found people through both 911 calls and social media messages, North Carolina National Guard Adjutant General Todd Hunt said. …
Hurricane Helene roared ashore late Thursday in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph (225 kph) winds. A weakened Helene quickly moved through Georgia, then soaked the Carolinas and Tennessee with torrential rains that flooded creeks and rivers and strained dams.
There have been hundreds of water rescues, including in rural Unicoi County in East Tennessee, where dozens of patients and staff were plucked by helicopter from a hospital rooftop Friday.
More than 2 million homeowners and other utility customers were still without power Sunday night. South Carolina had the most outages and Gov. Henry McMaster asked for patience as crews dealt with widespread snapped power poles. …
Storm-battered Florida digs out, residents gather for church
In Florida’s Big Bend, some lost nearly everything they own. With sanctuaries still darkened as of Sunday morning, some churches canceled regular services while others like Faith Baptist Church in Perry opted to worship outside. …
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Saturday that it looked “like a bomb went off” after viewing splintered homes and debris-covered highways from the air.
In eastern Georgia near the border with South Carolina, officials notified Augusta residents Sunday morning that water service would be shut off for 24 to 48 hours in the city and surrounding Richmond County.
A news release said trash and debris from the storm “blocked our ability to pump water.” Officials were distributing bottled water.
With at least 25 killed in South Carolina, Helene was the deadliest tropical cyclone for the state since Hurricane Hugo made landfall north of Charleston in 1989, killing 35 people.
Moody’s Analytics said it expects $15 billion to $26 billion in property damage. …

Prayers for God to reunite families and none to remain homeless, in Jesus name.
Praying for boots on the ground to help the clearing of fallen trees and other rescue efforts. Father keep the workers safe in Jesus’ name.
1000 groups won’t get the job done!! We need all of those in NC alone We are digging out in SC but NC is a disaster !
The gov’t is not doing anything Regular citizens are feeding and rescuing and leading God is faithful!
Oh Lord please help the people in all of the states affected by the hurricane and floods, send angels to help!
Jehovah Jireh our provider shall PROVIDE.
from online accounts, the damage was much worse than reported here. 8oo Mike’s of destruction. no cell usage. no water or food. .no directions from the radio of open roads to get to safety.
Almighty God – we ask that You minimize suffering in those devastated regions. Guide rescue crews to the missing stranded ones. May lost souls cry out to you in desperation – turning tragic ruin into great revival. Expose any wicked geoengineering that may have steered and strengthened this mysterious weather event. Provide comfort, healing, and material needs through Christian ministries that will glorify Jesus. So be it, in His precious name!
Father, you are not overwhelmed. Let praise for lives spared be heard and gratefulness overcome devastation. Let the church respond in abundant giving of food, water and restoration. Praying the enemy is given no power through anger and grief. Those that know you, help those that do not yet. This will not distract from the purposes of a loving Father who is not to be blamed for earths response to sin, or man made calamities. Yours is the glory Amen!
Father, we lift of those who are without electricity, who lost everything, who lost loved ones in the storm. Help them to trust you in this time. May they see your hand of provision and care and know you are there in the midst of trouble. Put your arms around them and comfort them. Give them hope for the future.
Praying for all and praying that governors and national leaders will get involved and help these people who will never recover all that has been lost.
Those affected by Helene –
Your God will RESTORE everything you lost;
He’ll have compassion on you;
He’ll come back & pick up the pieces from all the places
Where you were scattered. Deuteronomy 30:3
Praying this over each & everyone of you that is hurting,
FL girl (totally depending on her Faithful Father 🙂
We have been praying for our brothers and sisters that Almighty God would comfort them, protect and keep them safe.
We do lift them up in prayer daily for them. This is for their understanding, guidance, grace and their protection. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸
Lord, I agree with my brothers and sisters – please comfort, provide for, and rescue. Please protect first responders and volunteers. May we respond to crisis with compassion for those effected, and with humility and repentance toward You. Please be merciful.
Abba Father, when there is a need you supply. Just as Jesus miraculously fed the multitudes. We, in that same vein and power backed up by the authority of the cross declare and decree supernatural provision, food, water, shelter, clothing, just as you intend Lord! It’s time for miracles!
WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY ABBA FATHER!
Having read the book “As America has done to Israel by John P. McTernan” and the Bible, whenever I hear about these never before type storms, massive earthquakes, and other horrible events America has faced I know that is because we (Our government) are cursing Israel instead of standing with them. Every time we hold up support (weapons artillery) or coerce them into doing things that are against God (give up land, not fight back, etc.) we suffer these type of things. I pray that our Government (cackles and goofy) come to their senses and stop cursing Israel and bringing these curses upon the American people.
Dearest Heavenly Father: We pray your continued mercy and swift resources and help for those affected by this violent storm. We pray for those who have lost loved ones and pray their loved ones were saved and are now safe at home in your arms. We pray that our government will direct the appropriate resources to the states affected and also that they would pick up the BIBLE and even the book mentioned above and start listening and following your word and ways so we will not continue to be consumed because of their stupidity and lack of acknowledgement of you as our Creator, Lord and Savior. We pray YOUR WILL be done on earth as it is in Heaven. To you be all Glory, Honor, Power and Praise for you alone are Worthy to be Praised. We pray this prayer in the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, Healer, Protector, Best Friend Ever – Our Everything.
Lord Jesus, how our hearts hurt over this devastation. Please Lord hear our cry for those lost and those going through this horrific storm. Answer their needs Lord and May ALL seek YOU through it. Oh Lord hear our cry in Jesus Name. Amen

Elohim- God, Mighty Creator; Maon- Dwelling Place; Machseh- Refuge; Magen- Shield and Metsuda- Fortress:
In the name of Jesus- The Bread of Life:
In times of distress such as this, Your Providence remains. Throughout this weather event – You – Yahweh Shammah – were there. You ARE our Dwelling Place, Refuge, Shield and Fortress.
I pray to You, Triune God, and thank You for wrapping Your arms around the people in Your nation who are now living through the effects of Hurricane Helene. Thank You for the 5 men who traveled to Alden’s Mom and acted as Your Hands and Feet to rescue her. Father, they truly are brothers in Christ.
Thank You for ALL the rescue workers, volunteers, neighbors, fire and police, who are about this country attending to the needs of the people of this Nation. Guide, protect, direct, gird them up, give them Your breath of strength to serve You. Increase there ability to hear and follow the orders of Holy Spirit in all there steps. Watch over their families as they are watching out for others.
Good Shepard, Redeemer and Savior, console those who are now mourning the loss of a loved one. You are The Bright Morning Star- our Armor of Light- the Lion of Judah- shine Your Light on the dark places of sorrow and protect those who are grieving the loss of lived ones. Send Your children to them to share the mighty and miraculous news of Jesus – the Alpha and Omega. Wherever we are LORD, You are already there.
Heal, restore and reset this land. Ensure safe passage for those who are bringing supplies, food, water to these places. Multiply the supplies as You multiplied the loaves and fishes. You ARE our Provider- Yahweh Yireh.
I lift my hands in praise to You, the Overseer of My Soul, My Deliverer!
Amen.
Father God, in the precious and Holy Name of Jesus Christ, I come before you to ask for Your help. You knew before the storm came what would happen. I pray for all families who have been affected by loss of family, friends and neighbors to bow down to you in repentance for not believing in God and to turn to YOU for help. I pray for aid to come to the hurt, the lost and the discouraged who have lost homes and shelter and power to be cared for in a miraculous way. Help all these traumatized people, oh God . send lots of money and help and let no enemy come in to rob them any further from the assistance they need. Thank YOU Jesus for
Your Holy compassion.
Merciful LORD JESUS, praying for Your miraculous intervention for those who are suffering such great loss from the hurricane. May help arrive quickly as churches and neighbors lovingly help one another. LORD, praying for financial aid to be readily available for those needing to rebuild. Thank You LORD that You are with Your people always. In Your Comforting, Steadfast Love JESUS, I pray also for Your comforting love for those who are grieving the loss of loved ones. Amen.
Please pray for the residents of Anna Maria Island. The island has been demolished. Most people have lost everything they own.
Lord, I know in your word that you have expressed exasperation when Israel continue to sin against you-, but did that cry out to you when you rebuked them, however continued sinning.
Lord our hearts are heavy with the devastation on the people in Florida and the Carolinas and Georgia. We know that America’s sin is causing us to be under judgment Lord, and we come before you now praying for your Mercy. Let us be in repentance Lord, hear your intercessors crying out..they have been faithful watchmen on the wall for many years.. persisting in seeking you Lord. Will you not relent Lord from this display of your anger towards us. I especially ask for healing and provision in all of the southeast of the United States Lord, and the Carolinas.
In jesus mighty Name, Amen
Hj, I am in agreement with your prayer. Thank you!
