If I could move mountains - a prayer request

If I could move mountains this is what I'd like to do to Australia at the moment. Ingham in North Queensland is suffering with devastating floods, whilst Victoria and New South Wales are suffering with the worst ever bushfire disaster in Australia after Melbourne had it's highest ever recorded temperature in history last Saturday (46C). 85 people have died so far this weekend in the fires and the toll is expected to climb. What is so saddening is that many of the fires were deliberately lit. It's hard to understand how people could do this, it is basically murder.

Here in south-east Queensland it is hot but not uncomfortable. A friend emailed over the weekend to say she'd been busy throwing out unwanted possessions. She made the comment that here we seem to be throwing out things constantly whereas so many have nothing. Many down south have lost all their material possessions.

I can't move mountains but the Lord knows about Australia's disasters. Please pray for the firefighters and the rescue workers and for the people who are suffering.
