“You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:14).

Dear LORD, we look to You, and thank You too,

For this day of Your divine mercy and Your grace;

Knowing that You are LORD, and You are God; nothing for You is too hard.

Therefore, we are thankful again and again that we have You, our Savior, our friend.

In light of this COVID19 pandemic, help us to pray, and not to panic.

Help us to rest in You, that You know just what to do.

You are mightier than any storm, in any climate; especially this coronavirus pandemic.

Clearly it’s no match for You; it can only do what You allow it to.

So Dear LORD, we confess, at times, we don’t know what to do… not even having a clue.

But now LORD, we’re beseeching You to grant us Your wisdom on how to get through.

And yes, LORD, we will be thankful again and again, knowing that we can count on You, Jesus our Savior, our friend.

“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24).

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).

I will keep on thanking God for His sustaining comfort in times of uncertainty. Dear Lord, I thank You for keeping me and being our friend during these perilous times, in Jesus name, amen.  By Hertistine Washington/ keeponthanking.com
