Prayer to Bring the Rain
Creator, we are gripped with fear and grief as the fires rage among us. We pray for all who risk their lives to battle these blazes, all who have been displaced, all who live in greater and greater anxiety.
In this time, hear our words of love for your beautiful creation.
In this time, hear our words of gratitude for cool lakes, strong rivers, and welcome rains.
In this time, hear our words of repentance for the harm to your precious earth.
Hear our call to you:
Bring the rains like a healing balm.
Bring comfort for all our relations.
Bring our hearts towards a justice that rolls like a river.
In humility and love we pray,
Amen
