During the past two days, Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, has been hit by its heaviest rainstorm in 1000 years.
Many national meteorological observation stations in the central Chinese province broke the historical records of precipitation, as the disaster was extremely serious.
In Zhengzhou, the rainfall reached 201.9 mm in one hour, according to the Central Meteorological Observatory.
The rare and continuous heavy rainfall has caused serious waterlogging in the urban area of Zhengzhou, which has severely affected Zhengzhou's railway, highway and airlines. At present, about 100,000 people have been relocated to safe places, with 12 persons dying.
Affected by heavy rains, with waterlogging and flooding, street vehicles were swept away in many places in Henan... The disaster affected the whole country.
Many Chinese Christians and pastors have initiated intercession on the media and WeChat Moments.
At this difficult time, we should also raise our hands and pray for those facing disaster:
"Dear Lord Jesus Christ, please come down to the disaster-stricken land to comfort the injured people, dry their tears, and wipe away their pain, as they've lost their relatives, family members, friends, and some have even died in this disaster."
Lord, we plead with you to close the windows in the sky to immediately stop the downpour, as you have mercy on Henan and don't want to see your people suffer.
We pray for the victims of the current flood, that the Lord may protect them from all plagues and diseases and help them out of their pain and suffering. We wish them a return to normal life as soon as possible.
Lord, please lead the suffering people out of the darkness into the light with your compassion and love, as you cry with those who are mourning.
May the Lord hear our cry and prayers that we make in His name. Amen!"

这两天，河南省被暴雨刷屏，多个国家级气象观测站点打破降水历史纪录，受灾极其严重，其中郑州更是遭遇千年一遇的特大暴雨。
据中央气象台消息，河南郑州在1个小时内，降雨量达到了201.9毫米。
罕见的持续强降雨，令郑州市区出现严重内涝，造成郑州市铁路、公路及民航交通受到严重影响。目前，已转移避险约10万人，洪灾已造成郑州市区12人死亡。
受暴雨影响，河南多地出现内涝、洪水，街边车辆被卷走……灾情牵动全国人民的视线。
许多基督徒和牧者也在自媒体和朋友圈发起代祷。
在这个艰难的时刻，作为基督徒的我们也当举起手来为正在受难的人们祈求祷告：
亲爱的主耶稣基督，求你亲自降临在受灾的土地上，安慰受伤的百姓，擦干他们的眼泪，抹去他们的伤痛。你知道这场洪灾给无数的人们带去了痛苦与磨难，他们失去了亲人、家人、朋友，甚至有些人在这场灾难中丧生。
主啊，你并不愿意看到你的百姓受苦，求你怜悯河南，怜悯那城中的百姓。关上天上的窗户，使倾盆的大雨可以立时停止。
我们为目前正在遭受水灾的灾民祷告，求主保守他们，消灭一切的瘟疫和疾病。也求主帮助他们，使他们走出伤痛与苦难，早日恢复正常的生活。
主啊，求你与受难的子民同在，求你与哀恸的人同哭，用你的怜悯与慈爱帮助他们、安慰他们、怜悯他们，用你厚厚的恩膏和爱引领他们走出黑暗，进入光明之中。
愿主垂听我们的代求。祷告是奉主名求。阿门！
