Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, when You ask me to do something, why is my first reaction resistance? “You sure about this, Lord?” I argue. “I’m not a spiritual giant like Moses, or Elijah, Peter, or Paul. How can You use me?” My insecure humanity tends to make me compare myself to others. That is not from You, Lord. But when I trust You and step out in faith, the Holy Spirit shows me how these saints were no different than me. They faced the same fears, doubts, and experienced falling short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) like I do, but the same faithful God who helped them will also work through me to accomplish His will (Philippians 2:13).
We intercede again for the eradication of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bring healing and complete recovery to all who are infected. We pray for wisdom that people will not make decisions based on fear, but on sound judgment and realities. Let Your church rise to minister with compassion and Christlike love to all people, and thus fulfill Your will.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation, unite our people, and show us how to love one another.
Willing to be used by You, Lord Jesus. Amen.
