A Call to Prayer for Rapid Response Team

Prayer Requests:

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” —Hebrews 4:16, NKJV

Southeast Hurricane Responses: Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT) chaplains continue to provide emotional and spiritual care in Tampa, Florida; Yancey, Mitchell, Buncombe, Watauga counties, North Carolina; and Valdosta, Georgia. Please pray for all those suffering in these disaster areas as they pick up the pieces following the recent hurricanes. Ask God to meet residents’ needs, particularly as we draw closer to the Christmas season.

Law Enforcement Community: Ask God to protect law enforcement officers as they serve our communities. Pray for wisdom and discernment as they assist in keeping order and safety in our streets. Lift up the families and agencies who have lost loved ones in recent days or years. Pray for God to comfort them like only He can.

Ukraine Response: BG-RRT chaplains continue to offer the love and compassion of Christ in Ukraine. Ask God to use their efforts of ministry and training. Pray for Christians in the area, that they might encourage and point all who are suffering in the current crisis to Jesus Christ as their hope for the future. Ask God to continue to protect all who are serving.

Preemptive Prayers Relating to Man-Made Disasters: Please pray for God’s love and truth to penetrate the minds and hearts of those who might consider creating havoc that would result in injury to themselves and/or others. Invite God’s powerful presence to draw them to Himself, that they might know life in the fullest measure through Jesus Christ. Pray against the plan of the enemy to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10), and that the main focus will be hope in Him.

Our Nation: Ask God to bring healing, unity, and restoration within our nation. Pray that those in authority over us will legislate according to the Word of God. Believe with us that He is still able to do far more than we can hope, think, or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), and can bring blessing and a restored future.

Thank you for praying!
