Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.

Psalm 121:7-8 World English Bible

Reflection

Wildfire season brings fear, displacement, and exhaustion to communities across Canada. First responders work dangerous hours far from home. Families pack what they can carry and leave everything else behind. Pray for rain, for wind shifts, for endurance among firefighters, for generosity toward evacuees, and for the long work of rebuilding that follows.

Prayer

Pray regarding the devastating wildfires in Northern Ontario. Premier Ford has asked the federal government for additional assistance as 15 communities prepare for possible evacuations. Pray for protection over residents, first responders, firefighters, and all those working tirelessly to contain the fires. Ask God for favourable weather conditions, strength for emergency personnel, and help for those who have been displaced.
