Title: Pray for area around Atlanta
Post by: Fotobirder on September 21, 2009, 11:15:19 AM
Urgent

Please pray for us and the area around Atlanta. We live in front of the Yellow River and thought the rain could never get this high. But it's knocking at our back door.
I would appreciate all of your prayers. It's not raining right now. Praise God! But today and tonight has a possibility of from 1-5 more inches. Pray that the Lord be praised through it all. :cp: :cp:

I'll be praying Steve. I remember Floyd and what it did here in my area. Not a pretty sight.

Why don't you post your prayer request here also.

Praying here also, we have a number of relatives in the Atlanta/Metro area, and knew of the concern. 
Blessings,

Flooding can be so devastating, and even a "little" water in the house causes much damage.  I am praying for your safety and the protection of your home and belongings.

Steve, God helped us last night with no more significant rain and the sun sure looked good today.  Sure hope the water didn't get to your house.

I've also been quite concerned for all the devastation in and around Atlanta. Yesterday I finally reached my children who live in the area, and they haven't been able to get out of their neighborhood for several days.

How sad I am - I've experienced first hand how flooding can stress and endanger a family's health, welfare, and finances.

May God's presence be real and comforting to each person affected in the areas that are flood prone - not only in Georgia, but in all the areas affected by these problems.

HOw are things weather wise now.  Has there been any more rain?

Judy, we had a lot more rain (5 to 7 inches more) in some areas north of Atlanta and the western areas around Atlanta with flash flood and flood warning.  We did not get too much rain here in our area.

Ruth Ann, sorry to hear your family has been impacted where they live.  Hope their home was all right.

Thanks Larry.  I will continue to pray.  This reminds me of the old time hymn Master the Tempest in Raging....  Message this morning was on that.
