Lord, we come before Your throne of
mercy.
In these trying times, when
circumstances seem uncertain, we cling to the only One who is certain: YOU.
We cling to Your promises: that no
weapon formed against us shall prevail (Isaiah 54:17). That eventhough we walk
through the darkest valley, You are with us (Psalm 23:4). That You are our
stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9). And that Your mercies are new every
morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
We cling to Your Person: That You are
mighty and powerful, faithful and loving. That You are our Healer, our
Protector, our Shelter. That You are Peace, Hope, Joy. That You are GOD.
We claim these, not just for
ourselves, but for the world. For every person stricken by COVID-19. For the
weak, the elderly, and the vulnerable. For those with no access to food,
shelter, and medical supplies. For every troubled and anxious heart. For those
who have lost a loved one. For every health worker and medical frontliner. For
the experts finding a cure. For every world leader and government official.
We know that this pandemic would end.
Still, as we wait for that day to come, we pray that You strengthen our faith
in You and deepen our love and compassion for each other.
This we pray, in the Name that is
above every name, Jesus. Amen.
