Hope in the Storm
📖 Scripture Readings
Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)

Psalm 29:10–11 (NIV)

💧 Reflection
It’s been days of relentless rain. The typhoon has passed, yet its shadows linger: waterlogged homes, disrupted lives, and weary hearts. Some floodwaters have receded, but the clouds still cover the sky—literally and emotionally.
And yet, God is still with us.
In every drop of rain, in every gust of wind, in every prayer whispered through the night—He remains faithful. Like the psalmist said, “The Lord sits enthroned over the flood.” Not distant or uncaring, but reigning, present, and strong.
Let the rain remind us that God’s mercies are also pouring down—quietly, constantly. We may not see the sun yet, but the Son has never stopped shining.
🙏 Prayer
Lord, we are tired. The rains haven't stopped, the ground is soaked, and many are still recovering from the flooding. But we choose to trust You. We declare that You are bigger than this storm. Let Your presence be known in the shelters, the drenched streets, and the flooded barangays. Protect every family still affected. Provide for those who have lost homes or livelihoods. Be our peace in this storm and our hope in these gray days. Let this trial draw us nearer to You—and to one another. In Jesus’ name, amen.
