Former college football star Tim Tebow posted an emotional message to his X account on Thursday, sending a prayer and thoughts to those in California who are battling wildfires.

Thousands of acres have burned, while homes have been lost throughout the Los Angeles area.

"Like so many of you, I’ve been watching the news lately with a heavy heart. Last week, it was the tragedy in New Orleans. This week, it’s the wildfires in California. Quite honestly, in times like these, I don’t know what else to do but pray," Tebow wrote on X.

"And so, Lord, we humbly ask You to bring rain to California. Protect our first responders and give them strength & courage. Comfort those who have lost loved ones, their homes, or their businesses. Make Your presence known among people who desperately need hope.

"And help us all to remember in times like these, that you are the same God today that you have always been – with us, and for us, always."

The wildfires have affected the sports world, with two games located at Crypto.com Arena this week being postponed. Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick also lost his house after his family evacuated.
