Almighty God, who is our strength and our refuge; be with those who are affected by this fire, guide those who evacuate so that they may find care and comfort in a safe place; protect their homes, their pets, their livestock, their neighbors, and their friends, so that they may return home to a loving community. We ask you to be with all those who have lost their homes to wildfire, comfort them in their distress, strengthen them for the journey ahead, and sustain them with your loving embrace, that they may find a sense of home once again. And guide us to be generous in this Lenten season of giving to share our blessings with them. And we ask that you please protect the firefighters who keep coming back fighting, though they are weary. We ask all this in the name of your son Jesus Christ, who heals the sick and restores the lost. Amen.
