We are with you in spirit and in prayer, lifting up your family and all those affected by the fires in California. We stand in faith, believing that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 WEB.
Firstly, we want to address the anxiety that you are feeling. The Bible tells us, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB. We pray that God's peace will fill your heart and mind, casting out all anxiety.
We pray for your family and all those in California, that God would protect and watch over them. We stand on His promise, that no harm will befall them, nor will any plague come near their tent. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:10-11 WEB.
We also pray for the firefighters and emergency responders, that God would give them strength, wisdom, and courage as they battle these blazes. May He surround them with His favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:12 WEB.
We notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB. We encourage you to call upon His name, trusting in Him for salvation and for all your needs. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13 WEB.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God is sovereign over all things, including the weather and natural disasters. He sent redemption to his people: he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name! And the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever. Psalms 111:9-10 WEB. We pray that you would trust in His goodness and wisdom, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
