Affected by the heavy rainfall in the Sichuan Basin, rivers in Chongqing had greatly exceeded the flood-stage level. At 2 in the afternoon of August 18, the Flood-Level II emergency response in Chongqing was upgraded to Level I. It was the first time they initiated a Flood-Level I emergency response since records. The Yangtze River hit its highest level in the past 39 years.
As the flood passed through the central city of Chongqing, some roads along the river were flooded, according to the Holy Grace Church in Chongqing.
The church invited Christians to raise their holy hands and pray together:
O Lord Almighty, our God, you sit in the high heavens and reign, and your kingdom rules over the whole earth! Please open your eyes and listen to the prayers of your children. Let our cry reach your throne!
Lord, please don't get angry and remember our sins forever. Please look down upon us, because we are all your people.
Lord, have mercy on our country and compatriots. The floods in the south have not stopped, and the north has experienced heavy rain. The people are in great danger and hardship.
Please remember the suffering of the people, share your kindness and blessing. Please stop the flood and reach out to rescue us!
Lord, may you display your power, strength and glory in all these disasters so people can see your deeds and acknowledge you, the high and holy One.
That more Chinese people may humble themselves in front of you, abandon vain idols and break worldly chains. We pray that they will turn to you with all their hearts, and enjoy the peace that transcends all understanding in Jesus Christ! Lord, our God, "Your way is perfect, and the word of the Lord is flawless; you will be a shield to those who take refuge in you."
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
You make my feet like the feet of a deer and enable me to stand on the heights. We praise you, look up to you, and wait for you!
We pray together in the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” (Exodus 34:6)

1981年以来最高位长江洪水抵近重庆主城 同心祈祷！
受四川盆地强降雨影响，重庆长江、嘉陵江全线大幅超保证水位，8月18日14时，将重庆市防汛Ⅱ级应急响应升级为Ⅰ级。 这也是重庆有记录以来第一次启动Ⅰ级防汛应急响应。。
因本次洪水通过了重庆中心城区，部分沿江（河）道路将被水淹，据重庆基督教圣恩堂报道。
邀请大家举起圣洁手同心祷告：
万军之耶和华我们的神啊，你在高天坐着为王，你的权柄统管全地！求你睁眼看、侧耳听你众儿女的祷告，愿我们的呼求达到你的宝座前！
耶和华啊，求你不要大发震怒，也不要永远记念罪孽。求你垂顾我们，我们都是你的百姓。
主啊，怜悯我们的国家和同胞，南方的水患仍未止息，北方也连降暴雨。百姓陷在极大的危险、艰难和网罗之中。
求你记念百姓的苦情，施恩眷顾。求你止住水患，伸手搭救我们！
耶和华啊，愿你在这一切的灾祸中彰显你的大能大力，彰显你的荣耀，使人看见你的作为，认识你这位至高至圣者。
使更多中国人在你面前自卑，离弃虚妄的偶像与世俗的捆绑，敬畏你，一心归向你，得以在耶稣基督里面得享出人意外的平安！
我们的主我们的神啊，“你的道是完全的，耶和华的话是炼净的；凡投靠你的，你便作他们的盾牌。
除了耶和华，谁是神呢？除了我们的神，谁是磐石呢？惟有那以力量束我们的腰，使我们行为完全的，你是神。
你使我们的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我们在高处安稳！我们称颂你，仰望你，等候你！
同心合意奉靠主耶稣基督的圣名！阿们！
耶和华在他面前宣告说：
“耶和华，耶和华，
是有怜悯、有恩典的 神，
不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实。
/出34:6/
