Heavenly Father,
Your Word:
Psalm 24:1REVERENCE:
The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Father in heaven, all is Yours and though we try to control what is Yours, at times like this, we cannot deny that the earth is Yours. Your ways are not our ways, Your thoughts are not our thoughts.
You are the Creator of the Heavens and the earth. There is no other response but to submit to You. You are able to stop this devastation. You are able to save lives. Yet, You have chosen not to stop these wildfires from the devastation of property, livelihood, and the very lives of some.
Although I do not understand, I bow before You and I believe Your Word, that You are a God of grace and wisdom. Your mercy is everlasting.
I kneel before You and put my trust in Your eternal wisdom, which is for our good...that we may know that You are the Lord.
RESPONSE:
Eternal Father, strong to save, have mercy on us. Glory and honor belong to You alone. May our hearts rise up before Your throne of grace and mercy and may we appeal to You, the Sovereign Lord.
You know, O God, the tears from this devastation. You know the loss of personal history as homes burn to the ground. In this time of dire circumstance for so many people, teach us how to think and guide us that we not go our separate ways, or be tempted to think You don't care.
REQUESTS:
Father, there is so much at stake. I appeal to You in the midst of this disaster.
- For families that are losing so much: please take them under Your wing. You know their thoughts and their tears. Comfort them and guide their thinking with regard to priorities. May they stand strong and seek You diligently. Please protect them from anger at You
- For the Firefighters: Please place Your protection around the fire fighters. Give them strength beyond their physical ability and wisdom to know when to retreat. You alone see the bigger picture, give those who are managing the strategy an understanding and direction that will save lives.
- Bring help: Raise up Your church, the Body of Christ, to take action and help in ways that are meaningful and that make a difference. Father, may we not be passive in our support. Move us to action, not just in the present, but in the future, when rebuilding will be so hard.
- For favorable weather: Lord God of Creation, please grant favorable weather. Direct Your wind and Your rain to assist the efforts. Father, I ask for predictability of these elements so that those who play, may do so effectively. May their efforts and Yours work in tandem.
- Father have mercy on all the lives that are at stake, people, animals, pets, livestock, and the wild animals that roam freely.
- Comfort those in their loss. Uphold those who are devastated. Have mercy.
- Above all, Father, bring glory to Yourself, to Jesus Christ, and to Your Holy Spirit. As we come out of this, may we know that You are real, trustworthy, and that Your heart is always and undeniably for our good.
...so that, on this matter, we may be faithful in the day of His coming.
