Coping and Hoping

     God’s strength and power are available to us right now, this very minute. I pray that each one of you can feel His presence through this time and draw closer to Him. If you don’t know Him, I pray you will seek Him.  If you are a believer, I pray your faith grows exponentially. God works in times like this. His love can move mountains and change hearts, shed light on the darkness and redeem lives. I see it happening already.

     The following verses may need some time of meditation to reach us, to encourage us.  I pray your anxiety will lessen as we trust God together and reach for His hope.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have gained access through faith, into the grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance character, and character hope. And hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:1-5

     Peace with God through Jesus and the ability to always, always arrive at hope will give us the strength to get through this time together. Hold onto hope.

Lord,

We love You and need Your almighty strength right now. I pray Your presence will be felt by those who do not yet know You. I pray that the power of Your believers grows into more and more of Your light. We need it right now.

In Jesus name,

Amen
