God of Love,
Please bring Peace which surpasses understanding to those impacted by the LA County fires. Bring safety and health. Draw near to those who are mourning staggering losses, as you mourn with them. Please make your comforting presence clear within the spirits of all our struggling neighbors in California, and make your Care be clear by the supportive hands and feet of neighbors like ourselves whose lives are not directly damaged by this crisis. Bring healing, God. Be the Hope that doesn't run out for a community reeling from so many forms of widespread loss at once. Help us exhibit and hold that Hope by our prayers, our presence of listening, our outreach not only now but well into the future of this recovery. May LA emerge knowing they are deeply loved and supported by you and by countless communities across our country. Amen.
