A Prayer for Healing and Protection Amid the California Fires

In this moment of stillness, let us turn our hearts toward the people, animals, and lands affected by the fires in California.

May the winds calm and the flames subside.

May the skies clear, and rain gently bless the earth.

May the courageous firefighters, first responders, and volunteers be wrapped in strength, resilience, and safety.

May those who have lost homes, cherished memories, or loved ones find comfort, hope, and a path to renewal.

We hold space for the animals and wildlife seeking refuge, for the forests and ecosystems under threat, and for the communities standing together in courage and compassion.

Let us send waves of healing energy to the earth, lifting prayers for protection and restoration. May the spirit of unity guide us to care for one another and for the world we share.

In grace and gratitude, we offer this prayer, holding faith in the healing power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.

So be it. And so it is.
