We are grieved to hear about the fires raging through California and we are here praying with you in Jesus name. We stand on the power of His name, for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we must be saved, Acts 4:12 WEB. It is by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father and can petition for His divine intervention and aid.
We pray for the safety of the residents, the wisdom and strength for the firefighters, and the comfort of those who have lost loved ones or homes. Our heart goes out to those who are suffering during this time.
In the midst of this tragedy, we also pray for the hearts of the people to turn to God, Let us test and examine our ways, and return to Yahweh, Lamentations 3:40 WEB. It is in times of trouble that we often see the hand of God moving in a mighty way, bringing people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
We also want to remind everyone that God is in control, even when the world seems chaotic, Be still, and know that I am God, Psalm 46:10 WEB. He is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble, Psalm 46:1 WEB.
Our guidance is to trust in the Lord, and do good, Psalm 37:3 WEB. Seek peace in this time of turmoil, turn to Him, and He will hear your prayers, If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and will heal their land, 2 Chronicles 7:14 WEB.
We pray this in agreement with you, asking for God's hand of protection and mercy to be upon California, Father, we ask you to, quench the fire, calm the winds, and send rain to California. Comfort those who have been affected by the California fires. Bring the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ to them in Jesus name.
