"Don’t worry about anything;
instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need,
and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus."
— #Philippians 4:6-7 (#NLT)

As an organization, we pause to pray for those that are rebuilding from #HurricaneHelene's devastating impact. Many are still without power, without fresh food and water, and wondering what their next step will be. We pray for God’s strength, wisdom, mercy, and peace as they face uncertainty.
