Prayers for Australia: Host of The Pastor’s Heart, Dominic Steele shared this prayer:

‘Father we pray, in your mercy, restrain the forces of nature from creating catastrophic damage across NSW and QLD. In your mercy, protect all human and animal life in jeopardy. Guard those who selflessly step into the breach to fight these terrifying fires. Give them courage, skill and protection as they fight nature’s fury. Bring comfort and healing to all who suffer loss. Have mercy upon this land of Australia; which you have blessed with so much natural beauty and majesty. Hear us, as we cry to you for help. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen’
