Gracious and holy God,
Creator of life -- earth, wind and fire.
May our prayers, entwined with the flames that ravage our mountainside,
be set forth in your sight as incense,
the lifting up of our hands,
our common supplication to you.

Bless all creatures in the path of harm's way.
Strengthen the firefighters and all those working tirelessly to keep us safe.
Comfort those whose beloved homes are threatened by flame.
Soothe those who are anxious and in need of rest.
Hallow the good earth and the fire that surround us.

O God of all creation:
In the midst of uncertainty, help us to find community.
In the midst of tragedy, help us to find a semblance of peace.
May we know your
compassionate,
restorative
and healing presence
in our souls as we labor on.
For only in you do we rest in safety.
All this we pray in your holy name, AMEN.
