The images of towering flames and reports of hurting residents of West tonight shocked us and drove us to our knees. Although some disclaim prayer as a more or less futile exercise more akin to well-wishing than to courageous advance, Scripture reminds us that prayer makes a world of difference:
"He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many." (2 Corinthians 1:10-11 ESV)
We continue to pray for the safety and well-being of our neighbors in West and the many individuals attempting at this very moment to help the hurting and to resolve the danger. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to the families of those lost and injured in this disaster, and we are asking the Father for protection and restoration for the West community.
(Dane Fowlkes, Pastor)
