2 Chronicles 7:13–14, It’s sometimes hard to imagine our loving and merciful God displaying such wrath and anger toward His people. But God’s punishments always have the goal of repentance and restoration.
Father, we all have some responsibility for our present suffering. So help us understand the causes of these catastrophes to be avoided in the future. Lord, we thank You for Your mercy, grace, and favor through them all, and let us help those suffering the consequences of these diseases. Lord, Your Word foretold that pestilences, widespread diseases, including pandemics, would occur; and they will not be divine retribution or punishment from God. So, Lord, cover us with the Blood, so man-made diseases will not harm us. Father, these diseases have left millions grieving, the loss of someone they loved, someone who cared for them, who they laughed with and cried with. Lord, we pray for those left behind, full of sorrow and grief. May they cast their cares and pains on You. Father, we have many issues facing this world and Your people today. Not only is the pandemic making every aspect of our lives more difficult, but also profound social injustices and hate continue to impact so many people. Help us recognize the pernicious effects of the income gap between the rich and the poor, the lack of adequate health care coverage, hunger, racial injustices. And gun violence. LORD, we ask You to intervene right now in the name of Jesus. Help us unite, like never before, to bring peace, unity, and love to the people and this world. God, You see us, and You hear us. Father, through our masks, You see our smiles or frowns. Lord, we know through our masks, You listen to us when we whisper our prayers. In Jesus name Amen
