Hope Rising: Praying Together for Texas

The storms that swept through Central Texas and the Hill Country this Fourth of July weekend left deep scars—families grieving loved ones, neighbors looking for the missing, and communities facing a long road of rebuilding. Governor Greg Abbott has called Sunday, July 6, 2025, a statewide Day of Prayer so we can lift one another before the Lord.

Here at KSBJ, we care deeply for the families. We’ve seen time and again how Texans show up with strength and compassion in times of crisis. And we believe in the power of prayer to bring healing, hope, and peace—especially now. Let’s come together and lift up those hurting across our state.

Scripture to Anchor Our Hearts

Psalm 46:1‑2“God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear…”
Isaiah 41:10Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Psalm 23:2‑3“He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul.”

These promises are like a steady hand on our back—encouraging us to keep moving forward even in uncertain times.

This powerful song reminds us that God’s love drives out fear. Let it fuel your prayers for rescue workers, volunteers, and every person facing loss right now.

Just like Psalm 23, this song brings calm to chaos. Turn it on and let God quiet your heart as you pray for those who need peace today.

For Rebuilding and Provision
‑ Lift up the families who have lost homes, jobs, or businesses—that help would come quickly and generously.
For Hearts to Turn to Jesus
