According to the San Antonio News, as of today (July 14,2025), at least 132 people died in the Kerrville County flooding on Independence Day weekend. And over 160 people are still missing. Also, it is raining again, and rescue efforts had to be halted temporarily due to the threat of further flooding. Rescue workers were ordered to evacuate, for their own safety.
This weekend I was thinking about the families and friends of those 160 people who are still missing. How horrific. It is now over a week since this natural disaster. Fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters have not yet been able to have closure about the loss of their loved ones.
Please pray for the family and friends of those flood victims who have not (yet) been recovered. Pray for their comfort as they wait for news. That the Lord would give them peace, and thathey woul;d know their family members are in His care now. And if by some miracle some may still be alive, that they would be rescued and reunited with their families, quickly.
"Lord, please be with the families of all the floodwater victims in the Kerrville area. Whether their loved ones bodies have been found, or not yet. We pray for your comfort. And that you will guide them through their grief. Please lead them to others who will support them in this incomprehensible tragedy. We pray for your protection for the rescue workers, please keep them safe. We pray that you would stop the rain, that there would be no more flooding. And also that the water would drain away rapidly, to help the rescue workers. In Jesus' name, Amen."
