Dispelling destructive forces

Each year, hurricane season is seen as running from June through November, with September generally anticipated as the most destructive month. Yet, prayer based on an understanding of the all-power of God can help us find a sense of calm in any situation—and experience it.

Growing up and living in an area of high tornado activity in the Midwestern United States, as well as serving in hurricane territory in the Peace Corps, I have had opportunities over the past several years to see firsthand the power of God to bring calm and safety despite the threat of storms. 

In each case, I have found it essential to open my thought spiritually to experience a pervading sense of God’s presence and power.
