A Prayer

April 22, 2020 

A prayer for our time….

Lord God, we come to you today heavy hearted with doubts, fears, and burdened. We have been shaken and unhinged. We hear from news sources, doctors, specialist, politicians, and don’t know who or what to believe. It scares us. Give us faith, Jesus. Let us look to you for our belief. 

We pray for healing. Not just healing of those sick with the virus, but healing of our families – healing of the broken – healing of the lost. Thank you, Jesus, that you are the author and finisher of our faith. We don’t have to figure it all out. 

We ask for freedom. Not just freedom from our quarantine, but freedom from addiction – freedom from the things that bind us spiritually – freedom from our depression and anxiety. We thank you that you give us freedom to love others, serve you, and have peace as we look to you even in despair. 

We pray for love. Not just love within our own families, but your love within us. Put your unfailing love in our hearts so we can share hope with our world. Let others see your compassion shining through us. 

We turn all our worries and brokenness over to you. We choose your rest. 

In peace we will lie down and sleep for you, Lord, keep us safe. ❤️
