I am deeply grateful that in Your anger, You remember to show mercy. You have not given humanity what we truly deserve. For everyone has sinned and falls short of God's glory, and the consequence of sin is death. Yet, You offer people the chance to confess their sins, repent, and return to You, as the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus, this world would be a frightening place if it were not for the reality of Your presence with Your people and Your eternal plans.

There is so much wrong in the world that we want to make right. Perhaps things are so wrong because we are not right with God.

Jesus, grant us the grace to say 'Yes' to You and Your will and use us to take You to the world.

God, Your love for humanity is mind blowing. Why do You love us the way that You do?

May we as God's people rededicate ourselves to Him and pray for the Lord to remove this plague of COVID-19 from our nation and the world.

God, please get our minds and hearts off of anything that would give a false sense of hope and salvation. Help us to fix our eyes on Jesus..
