Good Morning, God,
Lord, we pray today for the good folks in Paoli and ask that they be comforted in their losses. We pray for those who were displaced when their apartments and possessions were burned beyond recognition. We pray for the history that was lost when the buildings went down. We give thanks that no one was hurt while surviving the fire and fighting the fire. We give thanks for all the firefighters and all the equipment that worked together through their "mutual aid" agreements to save other buildings and lives from harm.
Lord, we love our towns; we love our town squares centered around our court houses. Unfortunately, around here, many of the buildings are older, are more susceptible to fire, and perhaps have been altered, making fires easier to spread and harder to battle.
So, Lord, we ask for your grace and protection to save lives and structures from the devastation of fires and the dangers of fighting fires when they occur. May we be kept safe from the flames!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
