Honoring Texas Flood Victims With Prayer, Tears, and Hope
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” — Psalm 23:4
Truly, if God is for us, who can be against us? NOBODY! Not even the storm nor the flood.
“When the Waters Rise”
1.
When the waters rise and all seems gone,
When night is long and hope feels wrong,
There is a whisper through the pain—
A voice that says, “I’ll come again.”
2.
The storm may rage, but not your soul,
For deep within, God makes you whole.
The flood can’t drown what heaven keeps—
He watches over as each heart weeps.
3.
Through shattered walls and broken days,
Faith still burns in unseen ways.
You’ve lost much, yet still you stand—
Uplifted by His mighty hand.
4.
Your story’s not in what was torn,
But in the strength that grief has worn.
This test shall birth a brighter song—
What broke you now is making you strong.
5.
So rise, dear Texas, don’t lose sight—
There’s still a dawn beyond this night.
God walks with you through mud and flame—
And beauty will rise from the pain.
LET US SING THIS SONG TOGETHER AS WE PRAY FOR THE TEXAS FLOOD VICTIMS
1. A Community Gathers Amid Tears
On a quiet evening in Ingram, Texas, the air was thick with grief—and yet, full of reverence. Dozens of flood survivors, family members, neighbors, and first responders gathered not just to remember those who were lost in the flood, but to lift up their voices in unified worship.
This wasn’t just a vigil. It was a cry from a community on its knees, reaching toward heaven for answers, comfort, and healing.
“We came to worship not because we’re okay—but because He is still worthy.”
Prayer:
Dear Lord, be near to the brokenhearted in Ingram. You heard their songs through tears. You received their worship as incense. May your presence fill every heart still searching for peace.
2. Faces Behind the Numbers: Real Lives, Real Loss
With over 120 lives lost and more than 150 people missing statewide, the Texas floods of July 2025 have left behind devastation beyond property — they’ve torn at the very soul of Texas Hill Country.
Among the faces remembered were children, youth, grandparents, and even pets lost in the rushing waters. Local leaders and ministers read their names aloud, many with quivering voices, candles lit in trembling hands.
“She was just nine… my little girl had just learned to swim.” — A grieving father
Prayer:
Lord, every name read is known by you. You saw them when they took their first steps. Receive their souls with tenderness. Wrap grieving families in comfort only you can provide.
3. Faith in the Flood: A Worship Service That Shook Heaven
Despite homes destroyed and hearts broken, the service was one of deep faith. Gospel choirs sang through choked sobs. Pastors led prayers of both lament and intercession. And a local family, displaced from their home, read Psalm 46:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
As night fell over the Guadalupe River, voices rose like incense:
“We choose to believe. We choose to praise, even in pain.”
Encouragement:
Even if your home is gone, your faith doesn’t have to be. The storm might have taken your roof, but not your identity in Christ. God is still with you.
4. Love in Action: Neighbors Becoming Family
Beyond the ceremony, locals have been feeding strangers, opening homes, donating clothes, and walking side-by-side with grief-stricken families.
“I had nowhere to go. Then the Jones family took me in like their own.”
Prayer:
Jesus you said, “Blessed are the merciful.” Pour out blessings on every person acting as your hands and feet in Texas. Let this compassion never dry up.
5. From Rubble to Revival: What’s Next?
After the last “Amen,” people didn’t rush home—they stayed, hugged, prayed, cried, and sang again. The question on many minds was: Where do we go from here?
Texas will rebuild. But it must also heal spiritually.
Churches across the region have launched prayer drives, mental health support groups, and trauma-informed worship nights.
Encouragement:
If you feel lost, know this: You are still seen. You are still loved. And you are still part of God’s story. Floodwaters can’t wash that away.
6. Final Prayer of Hope
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
Prayer:
Father, Texas has suffered, but you remain. In every shelter, whisper peace. In every flooded soul, breathe life. Let what was torn down be built again—stronger in faith, deeper in love, and unshakable in purpose.
Amen!

Conclusion
As floodwaters recede, what’s left behind can feel like a graveyard of memories. Mud-soaked albums. Silence where laughter used to echo. But God has never walked away from the storm. He stood beside Malaya as she saved her family. He held the hand of every rescue diver in the Guadalupe River. He was in the hymns sung in lofts by children waiting to be saved.
If you’re reading this in pain, remember: floods may destroy, but they don’t define. Your identity is not in what you lost, but in who still holds you.
So let this be more than a collection of prayers—let it be a lifeline. Use these words daily. Share them with neighbors. Print them in church bulletins. Text them to someone too overwhelmed to speak.
And when you feel like you’re drowning again in the days ahead, remember the promise of Isaiah 43:2:
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”
You will pass through this, Texas.
Hope is rising. And Heaven is listening.
