Our Dear Treasured Friend Pastor Richard Mansfield of New Beginnings Church in Albuquerque and NM Prays leads us in prayer…….Lord, surround the residents of the neighborhoods that are burning or are in the path of the fires in California. Comfort the families and loved ones of the 56 people that have lost their lives in this fire, 297 people are missing.
Strengthen all the families and individuals that have lost their entire household. Protect all of the families fleeing for their lives and for all of the fire fighters and first responders that are risking their lives for their communities. Let those families that have been separated or lost be found and reunited. Reassure them of Your love, peace and presence in a time that they think You have forgotten them. Decrease the winds and increase the moisture to help those fighting the fires. Completely bring these fires to an end. I pray in Jesus name, Amen! ????????
Thank you Pastor Richard for leading us in prayer…..we love you and Cindy and your congregation so very much!
