Dear Lord, as we see the fires spreading across California, we pray for protection over the people, animals, homes, and communities in harm’s way. Keep the firefighters, first responders, and everyone working to stop the flames safe and strong as they risk their lives to save others. Lord, we ask you to send calm winds and rain to help control the fires. Bring peace and comfort to those who have lost homes or loved ones and guide them as they start to rebuild. In Jesus name Amen

Dear God, We cry out to you on behalf of the people seriously affected by the conflict in Gaza and Israel. Our hearts break at the devastation and suffering that we see, and we know it breaks yours, too. We ask that you would stretch out your mighty hand to bring an end to this war. We cry out for people who have been injured or traumatised, who have lost loved ones or their homes. Please provide everything they need and be their comfort, their hope, their healer, and their safe refuge. We pray for your peace to reign. We look to you as our Saviour and the hope of the world. Amen. (https://www.tearfund.org/stories/2023/10/how-to-pray-for-gaza-and-israel#:~:text=Dear%20God%2C,an%20end%20to%20this%20war.)
