O God, this is a difficult time for the world, for individuals, for people who live alone and for families. It’s a difficult time for medical professionals, businesses, and people who are losing their jobs. It’s a difficult time for churches.

​

Yet, in the midst of this, you are still God! You are still sovereign. You are still our provider, our shield, our protector and our Redeemer.

​

You are the God of peace and you want us to live experiencing your peace and mindful of your presence and power to deliver.

You are bigger than coronavirus. You are bigger than economic downturns and market crashes. You are bigger than any sickness or disease. You are bigger than our fears and worries and anxieties. You are bigger than our financial woes.

​

May we be open to learn what you want to teach us through this. Release us from all the false gods we have put our trust in. May we turn our hearts and minds to you and more fully trust you and give ourselves to you.

Amen.
