047 – What's the best way to pray about the weather and disasters?

In this week's episode I look at a few of the stories in the Bible where storms, fire, and earthquakes are mentioned. There's a lot to learn from how people back then dealt with and prayed about these challenges. I talk about:

  • Jonah and the storm he was in
  • Jesus stilling the storm on his disciples' boat
  • The earthquakes at Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection
  • The earthquake that freed Paul and Silas from prison
  • Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace
  • How a Sunday School teacher prayed about a tornado headed directly for her house
  • A lady whose house was not touched in the middle of a forest fire

And I share a few ideas about how to pray like Jesus in the midst of these kinds of situations. 

There was one specific type of prayer he used to stop the storm. We can follow his example and pray with the same authority he did, because, as Paul promises us, "We have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 2:16
