I will join you. I happen to live in California, but I'm far north of where the fires are. If you have not seen on the news, you would be pleased to know that many Californians are overwhelming the evacuees at the Qualcom stadium in San Diego with donations of food, water, etc. And for those who [falsely] think prayers are meaningless, I have donated money to the Red Cross.
The rainy season starts in California next month. If they get normal amounts of rain in Southern California (as opposed to the drought last year), you will see massive mudslides and flooding due to all the barren canyons and hills. Stay tuned.

If you are just now praying for them then you are late. Fasting does not help those people but pray does. Yes I will set aside one day a week to pray for them. All I'm doing is showing how holy I am, it's big of me to tell you what I will do. It is only between you and God what you do. I am not a member of the Pharisees or the Sanhedrin who need the glorification of man. My prayers are in private, for God's ears.

My spouse and that i are already praying for the survivors and the households of the victims, for sure the more suitable who're praying the more suitable suitable. would God be with them and would God have mercy on the soul of the deranged man or woman who did this despicable act of mindless violence. I pray that he hears the gospel a minimum of once in the previous he's shipped to his in simple terms reward. to Aslan, If God had intervened more suitable than he did, it ought to have negated freewill. The monster who did this mindless violence chosen to do it. in case you've been listening God did intrude he jammed the AR-15 that the monster had, to that end saving many more suitable lives. effective God ought to honestly quit each and every vile act that mankind does to his fellow guy, yet then we should be no longer some thing more suitable that robots that don't have any will of our own. this isn't area of God's plan. He supplies us freewill so as that we may be able to go with for ourselves even if to love him and keep on with his strategies. This regrettably facilitates monsters which comprise the carrot topped creature to do evil which comprise he did. Welcome to a sin cursed international.

Yes I will pray.
Also consider charity:
To make donations to fire victims, call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
The Governor's Office of Emergency Services has set up a toll-free hotline for businesses interested in making "large quantity" donations to fire evacuees. The number is 1-800-750-2858. Or go to this site:

Peace to you.

Yes, I will pray for them with you. I know that with all of our prayers God will take care of the people and use this to bring them closer to knowing Him. Thank you for asking, you are a blessing and have a good heart.

Instead of wasting you're energy on something as useless as prayer, why don't you do something constructive, like send money? All the praying in the world isn't going to build any houses, heal any burn victims, or bring anyone back to life.

Pray is NOT nor has it ever been effective. Making donations or helping out is effective
