Today all over Australia there are Church memorial services to remember the 220 dead and approximately 100 feared dead in the dreadful bushfires in the Kinglake and surrounding areas in the state of Victoria.
Please pray for those who lost loved ones and for the workers in the field who are still searching for bodies and having to do the forensics etc.
Please pray for the people who survived that they will not feel guilt that they lived and others died.
Pray for their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
Pray for those seriously burned, and in terrible pain, who will have a long time in hospital recovering.
Please pray for the helpers providing practical and spiritual support for the homeless, that they will be up to the task and that GOD will assist them to provide a good witness to any survivors who are shaken in their faith, and any survivors who are seeking an answer, and/ or GOD.
Please pray that the process of providing financial support for these people will run smoothly and they will have provision promptly to rebuild their homes and lives.
PRAISE THE LORD because my daughter in laws Grandmother moved out of the area 3 weeks ago and was safe from the fires.
She is very elderly and used to live there alone and would not have been able to escape if she still lived there!
Praise the LORD for HIS MERCY because my daughter in law's Uncle and his family were able to save their home and shelter there despite the fire burning all their farm sheds and machinery and cars.
THANK YOU GOD for answering prayer! GOD IS SO GOOD!
