Please Pray For My Community
Please pray for Thousand Oaks and the neighboring communities. Just hours after the Borderline shooting, in which we lost precious friends, the devastating fires began and have not subsided as of this writing. We have been ministering around the clock to friends who are reeling from the loss and have been uprooted and evacuated from their homes. Our church is in the heart of the mandatory evacuation zone and as a result, we were unable to gather for prayer and worship today.
Pray for those who are impacted by the fires – for the children who are having difficulty processing all of this – for the families who have lost loved ones – for those of us who are being impacted by the poor air quality – and for the amazing men and women who are fighting the fires and ministering to the community. Pray as the Spirit leads. Pray that the winds will subside and that the fires will be contained quickly. Pray for continued strength, unity and hope in the aftermath as this resilient community regroups and rebuilds.
Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this very challenging time!

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

So much heartache in your part of the world right now, and I’m so sorry.
I couldn’t even bring myself to click on “like” above, even though I always appreciate everything you share here.
Trusting for grace and peace to reign in your heart , by faith.
The beautiful thing, though, is seeing how our community is coming together to support one another during such a difficult time. Have a great week Michele – and don’t hesitate to “like” the post to support our featured guests this week (even though the “personal” share is hard! xoxo
Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful Monday.
Happy Monday. Thanks for hosting 🙂
Ramona,
Saying prayers for those in your community affected by the borderline shooting and those facing the wildfires. I’ll ask God to give peace to those people whose homes are threatened, protection for those in harms’ way, and a swift end to the destruction. In 2015 the Smoky’s experiences a horrible wildfire and while we live many, many miles away fear gripped my heart. I think more so for those facing the ordeal. Thanks for joining the 4M gang on the dance floor. Now, to check out some of the inspiring content shared by your pAwesome readers! 😉
I’ve shared this so that others can support you from afar (I’m in New York State). That song was a perfect fit.
Wonderful features this week! Thank you for hosting this opportunity to bring bloggers together and share their posts. I look forward to your party each week. #OverTheMoon #ThursdayFavoriteThings.
Praying for you all! So sad about the fires and all the destruction. 🙁
Definitely prayers for your community! <3
Awesome tune young lady! I’ve never heard it before, but it really held my interest. Thanks for hosting as you do every Monday. You’re duh best and thanks for stopping by! BIG OL’ HUGS & that’s one handsome kitty you got there!!!
Oh, I have been praying for your community so much during this past week of devastation. I will pray for you personally now also, as you are there helping and sharing the love of Christ. May He give you extra strength and comfort.
Thank you Bettie and everyone who has been praying for us during this very trying time!
Your prayers are greatly appreciated and very much needed!
Tomorrow we are slated to attend the memorial service of a friend and we need to be strong to minister to our small group and their kids who is devastated by the loss.
Praying for your family, and your community. I can only imagine what you are all going for.
I have cousins that live in Westlake Village who have been evacuated by the fire. It is such a tragedy. I am so sorry for the loss of life from the shooting and then the fires–so horrific! I am praying for all.
I hope your cousins are okay Pat! My church is in Westlake Village and we are doing Grief Support and Counseling and offering all types of help for those who have been impacted by the fires and shooting. If your cousins need assistance, let me know and I can send you info. xoxo
I’m so sorry for all of the devastation happening in California right now. Thinking of you and praying that all will work out. Thank you for hosting the party in spite of all that is going on.
I’m so sorry for all of the loss that your community is experiencing right now. You are all in our prayers.
Thank you for hosting! We appreciate you allowing us to share at your party each week!
I just love how that canvas turned out.
Just beautiful!
