Prayers for Southern California as they live through and recover from the fires

Holy one, you are comfort and strength
in times of sudden disaster, crisis, and chaos.
Surround the people of Southern California with
your grace and peace as they live through the horrific
fires that are racing across the hills and valleys destroying
home, forests, businesses and people’s lives.
By your Spirit, lift up those who are battling the flames,
sustain them in their work to contain and extinguish the fires.
Comfort those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
Guide the helpers to provide comfort and hope as thousands
find ways to rebuild and restore.
Through Jesus Christ, we lift up our prayers. Amen.
