A Prayer for Los Angeles
God we lift this city and community in prayer, asking for your peace and protection to cover us during this time. Lord, we ask that the winds would calm and the fires would be extinguished, bringing an end to the destruction. We pray for strength, endurance, and wisdom for the emergency personnel who are risking their lives on the frontlines. Be their shield and sustain them as they serve. God, we cry out for those who have lost their homes and their land—may your comfort surround them in their pain and uncertainty. Bring hope where there is despair, and restoration where there is loss. Lord, you are our refuge in times of trouble. Walk with us, strengthen us, and remind us that we are never alone, even in the face of such devastation. Amen.
A Prayer for Los Angeles by Pete Greig
Lord of Los Angeles,
do you see these tens of thousands suddenly in agony grieving the loss of a loved one, a livelihood, a home?
Jesus of Nazareth, God of Golgotha,
just days ago these people were celebrating (in homes they’ve lost, with loved ones they’ve lost) your coming at Christmas. Come again I pray to our broken world. Sit with those suffering in the City of Angels, weep with us in the valley of devastation.
+ Kyrie Eleison, Lord have mercy.
Creator God,
I ask you for meteorological miracles – an urgent change in the Santa Ana winds, the visitation of rain. Protect and strengthen first responders and firefighters working ceaselessly to quell the flames in Palisades and Eaton, Lidia, Hurst and Hollywood Hills. Renew them I pray with supernatural strength.
+ Kyrie Eleison, Lord have mercy.
Consuming Fire,
we are brought to our knees, confronted by the fragility of life. Let salvation arise from devastation. Lord of Los Angeles, God of the Angel Armies, rescue us. Deliver us. Save us through fire that we may turn again to you.
+ Kyrie Eleison, Lord have mercy.
Amen.
