Good morning, Jesus.
Lord Jesus, Life in this broken world is often heartbreaking. Unfairly, life’s stuff can leave us broken. Love ones leave us either by death or by choice. Disease destroy our once-healthy body, or life choices that seemed good at the time only brought destructive consequences. Since You came to us as a human and shared our humanity, You know how our physical and spiritual wellbeing need divine renewal. Although brokenness weakens our faith, there is good news. We don’t need to possess the faith of Moses, or John the Baptist, or the apostle Paul for Your divine intervention on our behalf. If from our wounded heart we cry out to You, even if all we can muster is the tiniest mustard-seed faith in Your power, in mercy You promised ‘mountains’ will move and circumstances change (Matthew 17:20). So when life’s stuff hits, no matter how weak my faith, let it be anchored in You, Jesus.
We pray for an end to this COVID-19 crisis, that it will be eradicated from the earth and never return. Heal those affected by this disease and comfort and strengthen the friends and family who lost loved ones. Bless and protect our front-line workers, our medical workers, police, firefighters, and first-responders. We pray after this crisis is passed, we will reflect on these circumstances, and see how You were merciful and kind to us amid this storm. Make us stronger as a people and as Christ-followers.
I’m weak in faith but trusting You, Jesus. Amen.
