THANKFUL

Tuesday, April 28, 2020

Good morning, Jesus.

Lord, challenges today are like no other our generation has faced. With so much unknown about this COVID-19, we’ve become a fearful people. Media pundits continue to spread news of the devastation, whether their information is accurate, or exaggerated, deceitfully meant to push an agenda. As a Christ-follower, my choices are either to put my faith where my mouth is and obey Isaiah 41, “Fear not, for I [Jesus] am with you,” or worrying myself into a frizzy trying to handle this fear-mongering crisis on my own? It’s easier to believe You, Lord. We pray You increase our faith to stand fearlessly on Your truths, knowing You’ve got this! You will never leave us on our own nor forsake us. May we never leave You, Jesus.

We pray You use this virus to bring people to You and increase the faith of Your people. Cause people to call on You and show them how to draw near to You. Open our spiritual eyes to see Your higher purpose during this time despite what we see on the news. Grace the doctors, scientists and researchers who are seeking a vaccine with Your wisdom and insight to reveal that which is hidden from their knowledge. We pray this virus is eradicated from the Earth.

Forgive our sins, heal our nation, show us how to love one another the same as You love us.

Choosing to trust You, Jesus. Amen.
