As fires rage across Los Angeles, prayers continue to pour in for residents fleeing their homes and first responders desperately working to contain the flames. With the eyes of the world on the inferno, celebrities, businesspeople, and others with large social media platforms have been sharing their stories and asking for prayer, as their homes and lives have been impacted. “Join me in praying for the brave firefighters sacrificing so much to save our houses and our town,” actor Chris Pratt wrote on X. “Jesus protect the lives of those battling the flames and the lives of those who couldn’t evacuate.” In a separate Instagram post, Pratt thanked firefighters and first responders for protecting lives and working to stop the fires. “You are true heroes, and we are endlessly grateful for your sacrifice and courage,” he wrote. “Fuller House” star Candace Cameron Bure joined in on those calls this week, asking her Instagram followers to seek God and pray.
“This is devastating to watch,” she wrote. “Please pray the winds die down, for the safety of firefighters and emergency crews who are fearlessly trying to tackle this disaster. Pray for the safety of every resident.” Others joined in as well, with famed author Karen Kingsbury sharing her own reflection and praying to God to stop the out-of-control blaze. “God, please ease the winds and bring rain and divine favour to the men and women fighting this fire,” she wrote. “In Jesus’ name, amen.” On a broader scale, prayers continue to break out across social media, as people encourage their followers to seek the Lord, asking for rain, reprieve, and safety for all those impacted. Many people are sharing images of their destroyed homes and are seeking solace. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said officials are working in “real-time” to push back against the flames while arson investigators explore what might have caused the fires. “This is absolutely an unprecedented historic firestorm,” Bass said. “But we are all hands-on deck.” Please continue to pray for residents, first responders, and those grappling with such monumental loss.
