in our prayers...

 Those affected by the wildfires in California.

Almighty God, merciful Father, Your thoughts are not our thoughts, Your ways are not our ways. In Your wisdom You have permitted the disastrous wildfires in California  to befall those who reside there. We implore You, let not the hearts of Your people despair nor their faith fail them, but sustain and comfort them. Direct all efforts to attend the injured, console the bereaved, and protect the helpless. Bring hope and healing that the people there may find relief and restoration; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
