Heavenly Father,
We entered a new season, a new month in the calendar; but nothing has changed.
We are still confined to our homes. Many of us still are without jobs. Fear of what is known, the paranoia of the unknown, both grip our hearts and squeeze. The pandemic of COVID-19 has turned our world upside down. And there is no easy or quick return to “normal” life.
What are we to do, Lord? How are we do keep going in the midst of this? Continue reading “Weekly Prayer: May 3rd, 2020”
It’s a special occasion that I get to preach.
I hope you enjoy and are encouraged by the Word of God.
Dear God,
While some question, while some wonder, while some doubt,
Help me to hold fast.
While some may turn away, while some may retreat, while some may leave you,
Help me to cling to you.
While some hate you, while some despise you, while some will give up on you,
Help me to love you more.
While some look for signs, while some look for imperical evidence, while some look to put their hands in the nail marks,
Help me to trust without sight.
Amen
Lord,
These are strange times. Times where we are called into action to do nothing. Times where we are called to be a body of believers who cannot be together. Times where the present is the most uncertain part of our future. These are strange times.
Where is the rock? Where is the steady ground to put our feet? Where is the unshakable foundation that we build our lives on, especially in these strange times? Where are You to be found, my God?
You are closer than our very breath. You are near to the broken and heavy-hearted. You see those that are hurt and in need. You are here.
In the midst of the madness, in the whirlwind of chaos, in these strange times, Lord, remind us that we are not alone. You are with us, even now.
Praise your name.
Amen.
Lord,
This place is a mess…and still, You are here.
This world is chaos driven…and your peace remains.
This planet is teeming with death…and you continue to give us Life.
Help us to see that. Continue reading “Weekly Prayer: March 15th, 2020”
This is a new month.
This is a fresh start.
This is a clean slate.
This is the day the Lord has made. Continue reading “Weekly Prayer: March 1st, 2020”
Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.
My sin is great, but I know your goodness is greater still. Continue reading “Weekly Prayer: February 23rd, 2020”
