To all of our AME Today family on the east coast, I want you to know I am praying for all of you and your families. Hold on to your faith and God and continue to pray. I know Jesus will be with you through this storm. I ask that you look around your neighborhoods and check on the elderly, single moms or others who need an extra hand.

Also check in with your church family. With God you can weather any storm.

Father God we bow before you asking your protection over all your children. We know what the weatherman has forcast but we know your forcast is for our protection and life everlasting with you. Storms are part oof the balance of nature and they run their course. I am asking father God that you keep everyone safe and let all fears be lifted and let all eyes look to you for guidance. I pray this in your holy name.

Please check in when and if you can on the east coast so that we will know you are all right. Be strong.
