Prayer for California

As Thou didst send to Noah of old, send also to us a rainbow of hope.

We ask Thee now to save Thy people from nature's fury, from storm and flood and raging fire.
Save those in California whose homes and families are in the path of the wild fires that are consuming the land.
Comfort those in Iowa and throughout the Midwest whose farms have been obliterated by the flood waters rising throughout that region.
Quiet the swirling, whistling, tornadic winds that churn across the Great Plains, sweeping away all in their path.
Let the earth shake no more in Nevada or elsewhere and lull back to sleep those awakening volcanoes that have lately blackened the Hawaiian air.
