How to Pray for Firefighters

If you've been watching the news lately, you've probably heard about the California wildfires.  The photos coming out of that region are almost unbelievable.  So many people have lost everything they own.  We need to pray for them, celebrities and non-celebrities, believers and non-believers, and the wealthy and not-so-wealthy.  I'm praying that this crisis will cause people to turn to the Lord to guide them through this tragedy.  I pray for many saved souls.  While we are praying for those who have lost their homes and loved ones, let's also pray for the firefighters who are working so hard to put out the flames.  Here are some ways we can pray for firefighters.

1. Pray for Safety:  

Every time firefighters respond to a call, they face unpredictable situations.  Ask God to protect them as they face dangerous situations.  

2. Pray for Strength and Endurance: 

Firefighters face unbelievable physical and mental demands.  Ask God to strengthen them so that they can endure intense training and difficult situations.

3. Pray for Their Families: 

Firefighters are usually passionate about what they do.  For most of them, firefighting is not just a job; it's a lifestyle they love.  Many of them will tell you it's their calling.  Families of firefighters may worry about their loved ones while on the job.  Ask God to comfort the families of firefighters.  Ask Him to give firefighters and their families a peace that only He can give.  

4. Pray for Wisdom and Decision-Making: 

Firefighters must make many split-second decisions.  Their decisions affect the lives of others.  Sometimes, firefighters must make a decision that will determine whether a person lives or dies.  That's a lot of responsibility that must weigh heavily on their shoulders.  Ask God to give them wisdom and discernment in those incredibly stressful situations.  

5. Thanking God for Their Service: 

Remember to thank God for firefighters, not only Los Angeles firefighters but all firefighters in all of our local neighborhoods.  Thank God for their dedication and bravery.  

Remember to pray for first responders every day.  My son is a first responder, and I have many friends who are first responders.  Knowing those amazing people has helped me realize the magnitude of their impact on our community.  Don't forget to let them know you are praying for them.  Your prayers can make a huge impact on them both spiritually and physically.
