God of Creation, we live in a world where both beauty and danger surround us.  Receive our prayers for those impacted by, and living in fear of, the wildfires across the country, especially the interior of British Columbia and the Northwest Territories:  for all who cannot find adequate food, safety or shelter, for all who have lost their homes, churches, community centres, and workplaces, for all your glorious natural Creation taht has been destroyed and is harm's way, for all things and place that are in need of healing.

We pray and ask that you hep heal the pain of all affected.  Stregthen with your presence all who are numb with fear and distress.  Guide those who anxiously search or wait for loved ones.  Be near those who are grieving, and bless them with your peace.

In the midst of disaster we give thanks for moments of generosity and human kindness.  Grant tenderness, strenght, and wisdom to all emergency responders; to the wildlife conservationsis and stewards of the earth; to all who minister to human in need in our time of distress.  

We gather these prayers with the assurance that you already know our needs and are always with us.  AMEN.
