Pray for Atlanta

.
I live about 40 miles north east of Atlanta in Gwinnett County.



The metro Atlanta area was hit hard with rain and flooding this week. Some areas received as much as about 20 inches of rain in 3 days. Streams, creeks, and rivers all overflowed their banks. Road and homes were flooded. Hundreds of people either were chased from their homes or had to be rescued from their homes. Nine people were killed in the floods.

People in this area do not carry flood insurance. We have never seen water this high. Many people will have lost everything. Hundreds of roads were closed due to flooding. People who got out to go to work Monday had a hard time getting home Monday night. Many of these roads sustained damage and it will be quite a while before they can all be repaired.

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."


1 Thessalonians 5:18 "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."


It's hard to remember these verses when you are in the midst of tragedy. Please pray for the people in the Atlanta area.
