Death Tolls Rise in Venezuela Earthquakes, Europe Fires, Heatwave

VENEZUELA: The death toll from last week’s twin earthquakes has risen to nearly 3,000, with close to 13,000 injured and perhaps 50,000 still missing.

EUROPE: A new study says more than 20,000 deaths June 22-28 may have been caused by the heatwave. 

FRANCE: Hundreds of firefighters are battling wildfires fed by wind, drought and heat in the south. Nearly 3,000 people have been evacuated

USA: The Aspen Acres fire has burned more than 50,000 acres in Colorado’s Pueblo and Custer counties with no containment. Wildfires across that state have scorched a total of more than 129,000 acres. As the US celebrates its 250th anniversary of independence this weekend, many areas across the country have limited or banned fireworks due to drought and fire hazards.

Loving Father, please protect firefighters and rescue workers and give them wisdom. Contain the fires and rescue those trapped beneath the rubble from the Venezuela’s earthquakes. Heal those who are injured, comfort those who mourn, strengthen those struggling from heat exhaustion, provide for those in need, and rebuild the lives and homes of those who have lost so much. Do all these things in such a way that they will know You are the One who did that. When they cry out to You, answer them. Place within every soul a deep thirst for You. Remove every barrier that has kept the lost from salvation and give them courage to choose You as their Lord. Bring loving Christians to them to share Your good news. For Christians who are homeless now or who have lost loved ones, please carry them through this difficult time like only You can. Renew their strength and empower them to encourage others around them who are also hurting, offering them hope, a safe shoulder to cry on, and the way to salvation. Bless Christians so abundantly they will also abundantly bless others in need and share Your Good News. Bring forth a mighty movement of Your Spirit all across each of these areas affected by fires, leading thousands to faith in You. Open the eyes of the spiritually blind to see You as You truly are, and awaken every heart to Your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
