Let us pray for all those affected by wildfires, the following prayer was shared from the Diocese of Colorado. Lord, we ask for your protection from spreading wildfires across our beautiful state. We ask for protection of those fighting in harm's way. We pray for those coordinating efforts in support and relief. We grieve for the loss of animal life, plants and trees, and the scarring of the earth. We are saddened for the original custodians of the land, the First Peoples of the land, and the poor and marginalized disproportionately affected by the fires. Turn our sadness into compassion. O God, heavenly Father, who by thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised to all those who seek thy kingdom and its righteousness all things necessary to sustain their life: Send us, we entreat thee, in this time of need, such moderate rain and showers, that we may receive the fruits of the earth, to our comfort and to thy honor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. -Book of Common Prayer, pg 828, For Rain.
