Heavenly Father, we pray for our communities, for our families, friends, and loved ones impacted by this devastating and challenging fire. Give us strength, courage, and patience as we look out for one another as these events play out. We ask that you would pour your Holy Spirit over the land, to protect the most vulnerable and in need, and see them to safety. Gracious God, we ask that a spirit of peace and faith in your strength and might win out over a spirit of fear. We pray that even in the most terrible turn of events that you would be recognized and trusted as good. We pray that those on the ground, nearest to the danger and destruction would feel your guiding hand, and be guide by your wisdom and grace. Provide the peace and faith that can only come by the work of your Son, Jesus, through your Holy Spirit. Amen "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 Blessings, Matthew+ P.S. If you need to reach me please call my cell phone: 724-554-1992. |
