Journaling 7 Marshmallows

This is not the politically correct thing to say about the Colorado wildfires.  
Dear Heavenly Father thank You for the Colorado wildfires.  I pray that You would cause all things concerning the Colorado wildfires to work together for good to those who love God and who are called according to His purposes.  And I thank You for the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keeping my heart and mind through Christ Jesus.  
Thank you?  Thank you for the fires?  
How can you say that?  Why don't you pray for the fires to go out?  
I don't see anywhere in the Bible where God puts fires out.  
I see numerous examples of where God promises to be with us in the fire.  
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:  when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  Isaiah 43:2.  
The prince of the power of the air milks the media coverage of events like the wildfires in order to squeeze every last drop of panic and fear out of the minds and hearts of viewers who are powerless over the situation but feel they must react in some way.  So they pay countless hours of tribute to the devastation being wrought while God gets a few scant seconds of worship throughout the day.  
Praise God and pass the marshmallows!  
By Grace,
