Day 9 - A Prayer for LA

Our hearts go out to LA
Mere words cannot express what to say
We pray that your grace, love and mercy will abound
Even though there is nothing but devastation all around
Raging fires are still spreading across the city
Beautiful homes and restaurants lay waste, oh Lord, what a pity!
Lord, in the days to come much will be said
As the people express their feelings for their loss and the dead
Watching from afar is like watching a horror movie in real time
Nothing is spared, it feels worse than a crime
We offer the sweet aromas of our prayers
Hoping they reach the top of heaven’s stairs
We’ve witnessed schools, homes and monuments go up in smoke
The whole city needs a good long rain and soak
Lord, give the firefighters what they need
To fight this fire that has so much speed
Father, we pray on this fast
That your eternal love will last
We pray for those who have lost it all
will lift their heads to the Lord and not fall
Material things matter
But as we see they can soon scatter
We weep Lord as our Savior wept
We pray that the people of LA will take another step
To bring glory, honor, and praise to the One, who was and is and is to come
Because out of the ashes God can do miracles and then some
I pray for LA today,
These are just random thoughts because I don’t know what else to say
I pray for LA today
