Prayer During COVID-19

Posting this a.m., 6/24/2020…vSeems appropriate.

“The world is in an uproar, but God is still on His throne. Fear and anxiety have gripped many hearts, but you still have access to God’s powerful presence. May you find rest in Him today. Hatred spreads, and the enemy spews, but you serve the God of the breakthrough. Are you listening for His voice? He speaks peace to His people. He’s your hiding place–a shelter from the storm. He’s moving in your midst even now. Do you believe it? Perceive it? How much bad news do you process before you lose heart and lose faith? It’s time to steward your perspective with wisdom and clarity. Measure the bad news based on your firm grasp of the Good News. Look to the Lord every moment of the day. He will not abandon His people or His purposes. And He will deliver you from all of your fears. Hide your soul in Him. Tap into the soul-stirring power that’s available to you because Christ is in you! You’ll be a source of strength for others. Be strong and courageous today.” — Susie Larson

 

I think this was the day I asked God in prayer if there was some relief from Covid-19 on the horizon?  Were we going to have a breakthrough that would help us recover soon?   God’s immediate reply in my spirit was, “Not. Even. Close.”  My heart was gripped with the sudden and sharp response and I knew we were in for a long haul ahead……
