The lack of power and safe water for millions of people in Texas may be compounded on Thursday by a band of foul weather stretching from the Rio Grande to New York.

The National Weather Service said a major winter storm would bring freezing rain, snow and temperatures that were “much below average,” a gut punch for Texans who have resorted to stoves, barbecue grills, gasoline generators and their vehicles to keep themselves warm.

Days of glacial weather have left at least 38 people dead nationwide, made many roads impassable, disrupted vaccine distribution and blanketed nearly three-quarters of the continental United States in snow. . . .

“It’s going to be a mess,” Laura Pagano, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said of the storm, which was expected to extend from the Plains to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

The loss of power was perhaps the most brutal consequence of the storm, although the number of outages declined overnight. Early Thursday, there were about 500,000 customers in Texas without electricity, the lowest such number in days, according to Bluefire Studios, a company that tracks outages.

Water has also emerged as a major problem, with almost seven million Texans — including the cities of ArlingtonAustinHouston and San Antonio — advised to boil their water for safety. About 263,000 people were affected by nonfunctioning water providers.

Hospital officials at St. David’s South Austin Medical Center scrambled on Wednesday night to fix a heating system that was failing because of low water pressure. They were forced to seek portable toilets and distribute bottles of water to patients and employees so they could wash their hands. . . .

Lord God Almighty, we ask You to deliver Texans from this onslaught of weather and its aftermath. Protect human and animal life. Send your angels to rescue and assist all people and animals in need. We believe for an abundance of provision as we look to You for help.
May this current situation turn out to be a great creative blessing in disguise for Texas and all the natural resources You have blessed that state with.

Oh Lord, it’s times like this that we realize how little we can do outside of our dependence on You. You see the needs of the people in Texas and elsewhere. Together we ask for Your wisdom and protection on those working to restore power and water. Protect those in homes without power trying to stay warm. Give the officials wisdom as to how to help and let it be done orderly. As the storm moves on dear Lord, protect those in its path. Comfort those who have recently gone through the tornadoes. Lord, help many people to be drawn to you during this time. In the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Our Father, You are a very present help in times of trouble. We ask You to send ministering angels to help those who are in distress due to the massive power outage during blistering cold in Texas. Untold numbers are freezing cold, without anything hot to drink or eat, afraid, and distressed. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without Your knowing. We ask that You touch individuals and families in a way that they know You are with them. You showed yourself as a pillar of fire in the desert. Be for them a burning presence that brings warmth and comfort. We appeal to You, our good, good Father for Your divine assistance. We ask that You would help those who are working to restore power. We ask that You would hear the prayers of the distressed as they cry out to You. We look to You for the help that You alone can give in such times of trouble. We praise You for how You hear and answer prayer. For those who are alone and freezing and no one knows about them, be especially with them and sustain them with the warmth of Your presence. You always do exceeding abundantly beyond all we can ask or think. We thank You now for hearing our prayers and ministering in ways we can’t imagine. You are Almighty God.

Lord, we praise You for Your might and Your compassion. In the midst of this literal storm, reach Your hand down to lift up the needy. To provide for safe water, heat and comfort in this trial. Let the many recognize Your might and Your Kingdom even in the midst of this. Curtail the devil’s options to exaggerate this crisis and roll out Your blessings upon the many. Protect the vulnerable — the babies and the elderly. Let not a one be injured or killed. Forgive those who have cursed Texas for its stand for Biblical truth and break the curses off Your People.

Lord we lift up our state of TX to you. We ask for your provision to protect and provide for every area in need. We ask that you would give wisdom and knowledge for this situation to the governor, his administration, local governments and officials, businesses and citizens. We ask that you would skillfully guide those in charge of electricity distribution so that it can be restored or partially restored. Help them because they are under a lot of stress. We pray for an increase in outside temperature to help reduce the need for electrical demand. We ask your holy hand to hold back any brisk winds that would reduce temperatures further. Keep the winds next to nothing in TX by the power of Jesus name.
Most of all, protect the people Lord – wherever they are. We pray that out of this disastrous situation will come new and better ideas to help protect the people, businesses, industries and state of TX.
In your holy name we pray amen.
