I’m thinking today of all those who are struggling, all those who are sick, those experiencing loss, and those who are afraid. My prayer is that right now you will feel and experience the love and comfort of God. There is a verse in Deuteronomy that says, “Be strong and of good courage. Do not fear nor be afraid of them. For the lord your God, he is the one who goes with you. He will not leave you, nor forsake you.”
I would just love to offer a prayer over our region and nation and world today. Father God, we come to you in the mighty name of Jesus. We know that the battle that we are facing is bigger than we are. And we know that the scope of this crisis is truly on a global scale. But we also know who holds that globe in the palm of his all-powerful and mighty hands. And because of this, Lord, we can be strong and courageous. We can be full of faith; not full of fear. Because Lord, you go with us and we know you will never leave us nor forsake us. You have told us, you have beckoned us to come to you, and have told us in the day of trouble, we can call upon you. So right now, in this prayer, and the hearts of those who are listening, we call upon you and ask for your help. I pray that faith will rise up in every heart as we turn to you in our time of need. I ask this in the all-powerful mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
