Even the most stoic among us have been rattled by the events
of this past month; feels like we’re on a roller-coaster ride that’s out-of-control
and we can’t get off. The fear is palpable and paralyzing. We are at war with
an invisible enemy and we don’t have the wherewithal on our own to fight it.
But if you know the omnipotent and omniscient, the
all-mighty and all-knowing LORD of Heavens Armies, you can win this war! Your
GOD and Father can and will fight with you, alongside you and for you. Tune out
the noise, still your thoughts and begin to pray. Petition GOD for what you need
to get through this. Not sure what to say? Use GOD’s own words. Whatever you ask
that’s in agreement with His wishes and promises will not just get you through
the day, but cause you to thrive in the midst of the chaos.
The apostle Paul reminds us that our GOD will supply all
our needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ
Jesus. (Philippians 4:19.) All your needs mean exactly that and
include the natural and the spiritual.
More than anything we all want the peace of GOD during hard
times. Without it our circumstances will overwhelm us and cause us to make
unhealthy and ungodly decisions.
Our GOD and Father, thank You for making me Your child
and for caring about everything that happens in my life. Today I exchange the
burdens I’ve been carrying these past weeks because of this pandemic for your
perfect peace. Your peace, Father, may be beyond my ability to understand but it
is able to sustain me every day and quiet my heart and my mind; Your peace that
causes me to live and thrive in the joy I have in Christ Jesus. My doubts and anxieties
I release to You and I fix my mind on You alone. Lord, I do not worry about the
future, instead I remember all the wonderful things You have done for me and I
am so grateful. Thank You, Father, for always being my GOD and an eternal Rock that
I can lean on. I will rest in the Prince of Peace in whose name I pray! Amen.
