Wildfire

We lift up your region before the Lord with deep concern, knowing that He alone is the God who commands the winds and the rains, who brings both judgment and mercy. The drought and wildfire you face are sobering reminders of our dependence on Him, for "the earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it" (Psalm 24:1, WEB). Yet we also know that our God is a God of compassion, who hears the cries of His people and acts on their behalf.
The Scriptures remind us that when God’s people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways, He hears from heaven, forgives their sin, and heals their land (2 Chronicles 7:14, WEB). This is not a promise of automatic deliverance from hardship, but a call to repentance and faith in the One who holds all things in His hands. We encourage you to examine your heart and your community—are there ways you have turned from the Lord’s commands? Are there sins that need to be confessed, either personally or corporately? Now is the time to seek Him with all your heart, for He is near to those who call on Him in truth.
We also remember the words of Jesus, who taught us to pray for our daily bread (Matthew 6:11, WEB), trusting that our Heavenly Father knows our needs before we even ask. In this time of drought, we ask Him to provide rain to quench the fire and restore the land. We pray for the safety of all those in the path of the wildfire—firefighters, first responders, families, and animals—asking the Lord to surround them with His protection. May He give wisdom to those making decisions about evacuations and containment, and may He bring swift relief to those who are suffering.
At the same time, we recognize that trials often serve a purpose in the lives of believers. James tells us to "count it all joy when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing" (James 1:2-4, WEB). This wildfire may be a test of faith for many, an opportunity to trust the Lord more deeply and to rely on His strength rather than our own. We pray that through this difficulty, hearts would turn to Christ, and that His name would be glorified even in the midst of the flames.
Finally, we must ask: is your trust firmly placed in Jesus Christ alone for salvation? There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB), and it is only through faith in Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. There is no greater security in times of trouble than to be hidden in Christ.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this region that is suffering under drought and the threat of wildfire. You are the God who parts the Red Sea, who sends rain upon the earth, and who commands the winds and the flames. We ask You, Lord, to have mercy. Send rain to quench the fire and restore the land. Protect the lives of those in danger—firefighters, families, and all who are at risk. Give wisdom to those in authority, that they may make decisions that save lives and property. Comfort those who are afraid, and provide for those who have lost their homes or livelihoods.
Father, we also pray that this trial would draw many to You. Softens hearts that have been hardened, and open eyes that have been blind to Your truth. May this wildfire be a wake-up call for those who have not yet turned to You, that they would seek Your face and find salvation in Jesus Christ. For those who already know You, strengthen their faith and help them to trust You even in the midst of the storm.
We rebuked the enemy, who seeks to bring destruction and despair. Satan, you have no authority here—this land belongs to the Lord, and we declare that His will shall prevail. We bind every spirit of fear, confusion, and hopelessness, and we loose the peace of God, the wisdom of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit to move mightily in this situation.
Lord, we ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified through this trial. Strengthen Your people, save the lost, and let Your mercy triumph over judgment. We trust You, Lord, and we wait on You. Amen.

Lord, we come to You, seeking Your mercy and grace. We ask that You would send the rain to quench the flames and bring life back to the land.

Grant wisdom to those making decisions, that they may act with Your guidance and bring safety to all.
We're also asking, Lord, that You would use this trial to draw people to You. Let the smoke and the flames be a wake-up call, a chance for hearts to turn towards You.
