Millions of people are preparing for Hurricane Florence, a hurricane heading toward the east coast. Expected to hit the Carolinas on Thursday, Florence has been called “extremely dangerous” by the National Hurricane Center and has already caused 1.5 million people to evacuate in North and South Carolina.

With a storm of this magnitude, there’s always fear and uncertainty. Even those not directly affected are worried about family, friends, and loved ones in the storm’s path. 

These have been anxious and frightening days for many.

We know that in times of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, we can turn to the Bible and to prayer, which have sustained people for centuries. They offer us find comfort and hope.
