Looking around on everything that’s going on around me today breaks my heart. Rather than my newsfeeds being filled with pictures of my friends kids, cute dog videos and positivity - all I see is fear and anger at everything going on. Pictures off empty shelves in supermarkets, hatred towards the government, and closings happening all around us. We’ve never been through anything quite like this before and all I see is chaos we are in and it’s people are left helpless in the rubble. As I continue to watch everything around me spiral downhill, i’m left more and more desperate. Desperate to make a change. And as I look around me, there are friends and family struggling and out of work due to this pandemic we are in. I'm frantically reaching for a firm ground, a stronghold to help end the decay around me. The world is filled with despair and uncertainty, so i’m turning to the one I know will hear my prayers. In these trying times, the only thing we can do is pray to the one who can heal our hearts and fix our world.
James 5:16 "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."
Pray with me, brothers and sisters, for there is no greater time than now.
Heavenly Father, whose grace and forgiveness washes over us all, be with us now. Your land is filled with despair, anger, and uncertainty with everything going on around us. Father I pray that Your righteous right hand will comfort those affected by the recent closings and provide a stronghold for those whose faith is shaken. Lord lift up the spirits of the fallen in this time and lay Your peace upon those they leave behind. Let Your light shine into the darkest of places that there be no darkness left. Lord use me to help Your people. Let my life be a message of Your amazing power and presence. Father I stay close to You, guide me and let me do Your will. I pray that people see You and Your love through me and that I can touch the hearts of those around me.
Father You have made every person on this earth and breathed life into them. Let us see through Your eyes now and not our own. This world is full of fear and is scared, but I pray to You now that we, as Your people, can learn to see through Your eyes. I pray that compassion and understanding flood our hearts and homes. Father You are the only one who can fix what we have undone. Be with us now. Come closer than You ever have come before. Help us to lay down our stones and turn our hearts to Your son, Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Father these are trying times. Your people are divided. Lord I submit to You now. I crave nothing but Your peace and comfort. I humbly pray that You will heal our lands and our hearts. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Hear me now.
Lord I ask that You would forgive us of our sins, both known and unknown, and wash us once again in Your unfailing grace. Father I thank You for all that You have done for me and my family and I ask that You would continue to watch over the people of this world in this challenging time. Father come quickly, we need You now more than ever.
I pray all of this in Your son Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
The power of prayer is amazing and can heal. No prayer is too small or too big and there is no limit - God hears you every time. Take the time to talk to Him because He will listen. Though times are hard, our God is stronger. It's time for us as a people to return to the one who died to save our souls. Our world is damaged, pray with me to help fix it.

Philippians 4:6 “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
