Prayers During COVID-19

COVID-19 may have put a damper on our physical plans, but it can never halt the relationship we have with God. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we have the access to go to God in prayer for whatever we need. God hears us, and in having the right CONTENT and CHARACTER in prayer, we are able to see our prayers come to pass.

God works through prayer, but with so many different needs right now, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the need that we are unsure of how best to pray.

Lifeway has completed a  prayer guide includes seven basic ways to pray amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. You could pray a different prayer each day of the week, or pray them all together everyday, whatever works best for you. Let us speak up for those who are most vulnerable and affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.  John 14:27
