During this time of "Coronavirus" many people have been recognized as "heroes," and they are. Our health care workers, first responders, others making face masks, people donating time and money to those in need, and those who have organized food drives and distribution sites. Many have come together during this unusual time to help their neighbors. We have seen God's love demonstrated by His people obeying His command "love one another, just as I have loved you, you should love each other." (John 13: 34)
We pray for our country during this difficult time. We pray for God to grant our leaders’ wisdom in making very important decisions that will affect all of us. May God help them and give them the guidance to make wise decisions.
May God care for His Church. Help us to be His hands and feet as we share with the world His love and saving grace. Matthew 28: 19 - 20, Jesus said He would be with us always as we spread the good news of His
love.
May God remind us that He does hear us when we call upon Him, He is listening to our prayers, and in His perfect time through Him our needs will be provided (1 Peter 5:6-7) He wants his children to give Him our
worries and cares.
Most of all as we pray for our heroes, let us remember the Greatest Hero of them all. Christ Jesus, whose greatest act of self-sacrifice was for all people of all time. Through Him we have been promised that our sins have been forgiven, our needs will be provided, through Him we can be called children of God, and because of Him we have a home in heaven where we can be in the very presence of God our Father. What a wonderful Hero we have in Him!
Continue to pray, love others as Jesus taught us, and wait patiently on our God. Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4: 8 that we are pressed by troubles and are perplexed but we don't give up. Jesus stated in John
16:33, " I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
