Urgent Call to Prayer: Southern California Wildfires
We agree together corporately for the fires to cease in Southern California and Ventura County including the communities of Santa Paula, Camarillo, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Sylmar, and the other cities in the Los Angeles Area. Pray for the safety and restoration of this region. Stand in the gap and plead the blood of Jesus over this great state. Pray a hedge of protection for the people of California and bind back death and destruction. Pray that the winds die down and favorable weather come to end what is already a very destructive fire. The fire has grown to 31,000 acres and has destroyed 150 structures. More than 27,000 people have evacuated and one person has died. Pray for the safety and success of the more than 1,000 fire-fighters who are working to bring the fires under control. Command the Santa Ana winds that have been blowing in speeds between 43 and 60 MPH to be still. Ask for the rains to come and quench these fires. We pray comfort for all who have lost loved ones, homes, businesses, and properties. We ask for a quick recovery for the areas destroyed. We pray for healing for those who have been injured.
