WE ARE IN PRAYER FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL! IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
Fire is so vital to our existence, and yet, when it gets out of control, it can be more damaging and frightening than most anything else. We ask God for protection against destroying fire; keeping our lives, our homes, buildings, forests and fields safe from this affliction. We must pray for the hundreds of firefighters who risk everything to protect our lives and properties. We must pray for rain to quench the fires and the thirst of those who fight to protect and save us from these wild fires. So, we pray . . .
“Oh LORD, as heat and dry weather shroud California, we pray for our families, friends, neighbors, and communities who are affected by the more than 30 devastating fires currently burning throughout the state. We are especially aware of the La Tuna fire within the LA city region. LORD, they say this is the largest fire in history within the LA city limits. But nothing is too big for You!
Dear God, have mercy on those living through this terrible threat of fire in Southern California. Protect the lives of the brave men and women fighting the flames. Give encouragement to all who have lost homes. Give wisdom to those who must make important decisions about their property and the property of others LORD, You are the Sovereign LORD. We ask You to calm the winds, increase the humidity, bring the rains, and slow the advance of these infernos. Shield those for whom the smoke is a health threat. Give us the fire of passion in our hearts that we may help the many in need. You can extinguish these fires. We ask boldly that you would. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
