Good morning, Jesus
Lord, people are anxious in this already tumultuous 2020. Justice Ginsburg’s passing adds more uncertainty. While the world runs around in panic flinging their arms in tantrums, may Your followers not act so. Strengthen us to remain steadfast in faith regardless of doom-and-gloom politics and threatening headlines. How many people looking for hope have placed their security on candidates’ wishy-washy promises or a political party’s ever changing platform, only to be disappointed. Our confidence, our hope, however, is in You, since “there is no [government] authority except that which God has established” (Romans 13:1). May we abide in Your presence so strongly (John 15) that the world will be amazed at the peace we rest in. Because You are sovereign, O Lord, we know You are in control so we do not worry.Forgive our sins. Only when we humble ourselves and turn to You, Lord, can our people and our land be healed. Bless and protect the firefighters, law enforcement personnel, emergency workers and all who are putting their lives on the line battling the wildfires and floods. Comfort and strengthen all affected by these catastrophes. May no others be lost.
Resting in Your peace, Lord Jesus, amen.
