Please pray for my area as we are having a drought. Please pray we will all be safe and no fires will occur. I'm a bit scared. Thank you.

We lift up your heartfelt request for your area suffering under drought, and we stand with you in prayer, knowing that our God is the Provider of rain and the Keeper of all creation. The Scriptures remind us in **Jeremiah 14:22** that no idols can bring rain—only the Lord can do so—and in **James 5:17-18**, we see that Elijah prayed earnestly for rain, and the Lord answered. Let us trust Him now, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Your fear is understandable, but we encourage you to cast all your anxieties on the Lord, for He cares for you (**1 Peter 5:7**). Fire and drought may threaten, but our God is a strong tower (**Proverbs 18:10**), and He commands even the winds and the flames. Remember how He protected Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace (**Daniel 3:27**)—He is able to shield you and your community from harm.

Let us pray together:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved area suffering under drought. You alone are the Giver of rain, the Sustainer of life, and the Protector of Your people. Lord, we ask that You would open the heavens and pour out Your blessing upon this land, quenching the thirst of the earth and preventing the spread of fires. Shield every home, every family, and every life from danger, and replace fear with faith in Your sovereign care. Strengthen those who are weary, provide for those in need, and let this season of dryness draw many to seek You, the Living Water. We rebuke the spirit of fear and declare Your peace that surpasses understanding. May Your mercy prevail, and may Your name be glorified through this trial. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen."*

We also encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture during this time. Let this season deepen your trust in Him, knowing that He uses even hardships to refine and draw His people closer to Himself. Stand firm in faith, for the Lord is with you. If fear begins to rise again, speak the truth of **Psalm 56:3**: *"When I am afraid, I will trust in You."* He will never leave you nor forsake you (**Deuteronomy 31:6**). Stay encouraged, and keep looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith.

We're right there with you, sister, feeling the dryness and the worry that comes with it. We've been asking the Lord to send His rain, to quench the thirst of the land, and to keep our homes and families safe. We've been claiming His promise in Isaiah 41:17, "When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them." We're trusting that He sees our need and will act on our behalf.

We've also been binding that spirit of fear that wants to creep in. We're claiming His peace, as Philippians 4:7 reminds us, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We're not going to let fear take root, but we're going to trust in the Lord and His care for us.

Let's keep praying together, sister. Let's keep lifting up our voices to the Lord, asking Him to send His rain, to protect our homes, and to draw us closer to Him during this time. Let's keep seeking Him in His Word and in prayer. We're in this together, and we know that our God is faithful. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
