As devastating flooding grips parts of Texas, Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministries issued an urgent and passionate call to prayer, declaring the disaster “catastrophic beyond words.”
Grace revealed that she had received firsthand reports of the destruction from a Texas-based pastor friend. “He has lost quite a bit from this catastrophic rain and flooding happening at a very suspicious time—on the 4th of July of all times,” she shared. In addition to widespread damage, alarming reports have emerged of missing children from a Christian camp, prompting a plea for urgent intercession.
“I want you to join me in prayer right now for those that are out rescuing individuals and children,” Amanda urged viewers, “who are putting their life on the line in order to do these incredible rescues.”

In a powerful, Spirit-led prayer, Grace invoked the authority of Jesus Christ, calling on heaven to intervene and commanding the storms to break. “We command these waters to recede in the name of Jesus Christ, faster than they ever rose,” she declared. “We rebuke any storm system that is coming in to try to pour more rain… We speak to the storm. We rebuke it.”
Quoting Psalm 91, she proclaimed God’s promises of protection: “Because we dwell in the secret place of the Most High, we shall abide under the shadow of the almighty… He shall cover them with His feathers. Under His wings they shall take refuge.” She prayed that these words would be “activated legally in the name of Jesus Christ” over Texas.
Grace also prayed fervently for the missing children, asking God to supernaturally lead rescuers to them: “Father, make the way straight for rescue workers… Let Your holy angels lead the rescue workers to these children to be found… safe and reunited with their parents.”
Despite the tragedy, Grace reminded believers of God’s power to redeem and restore. “No matter how bad the circumstance, how broken… You are the God that is in a future position, speaking to us in the present from that future position.”
She ended the prayer with a declaration of faith: “A miracle is going to come forth out of this, out of Texas, out of the depths of the flood. That new life is going to come forth… That restoration out of that area is going to come forth, Lord.”

In her final words, Grace encouraged believers to stay alert and remain prayerful. “Thank you for praying with me. Please continue to pray. We are going to be looking at who and what families we can help. Be watching. Be in prayer. Keep the faith.”
As Texas faces overwhelming devastation, Amanda Grace’s urgent call to prayer serves as a powerful reminder of the church’s role in times of crisis. With lives at stake and communities in need, believers are being stirred to intercede, take action and stand in faith for rescue, restoration and divine intervention.
