A Prayer for Fire Victims in California, Oregon, and Washington

Almighty God, be with your people in California now in the midst of the fires.
Bring an end to the loss of lives and the loss of homes.
Bring aid to the firefighters who, by serving others, serve you.

Bring hope to the displaced and the homeless.
Bring rest and peace to those who have been lost, and let their souls find eternal life with you.
Be a comfort and relief to the grieving.

As the cities are rebuilt, may no one be left behind.
May we see you in the faces of those in need.

Amen.
