Pray for the City of Baltimore and the response to the COVID-19 crisis.

On Friday, April 10 as of 10 AM, there were reported 1,273 cases in Baltimore City (Baltimore County had 1,569 cases). God, we pray for each one of these cases and the person it represents. We pray you give them encouragement and give them peace beyond their own understanding. Each individual is important in your eyes God, so we pray that you show them your love. As they fight against this virus, we pray for their strength and we pray for their families.

“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest?’ I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.” -John 4:34-37 (NIV)

Pray for Indian Lake Camp + Christ in Youth (CIY) as they make camp adjustments.

God, thank you for the opportunity to hold these two amazing places and people up to you. We pray for Indian Lake and CIY today. We ask that you would be with them as they make the hard decisions to adjust the camp schedule this summer. There is something so special that happens at summer camp and we are so thankful to be a part of a church that knows camp is important. We pray for Indian Lake as they are adjusting to not having campers on their grounds this summer. As they're making this hard choice and as we support them, we ask that you hold them close. We ask for your presence through this time as they navigate what this summer looks like for them. We also pray today for the team of people at CIY, as they run at full speed to make sure CIY can still happen this summer. As they help churches go digital, hold physical events, and as churches make the hard decision not to attend CIY this summer. We ask that you be with them. We know lives are changed at summer camp and our part...

Pray for those with non-coronavirus health concerns; pending surgeries and other illnesses that are having resulting effects with medical services not being readily available.

Lord, we lift our prayers to you for those whose surgeries or health concerns have been delayed due to the pandemic. Provide them peace and patience as they wait. May your presence be felt in their day to day life; the peace that can only be found through the power of the living God who dwells within them. May they proclaim your goodness from their places of waiting. Give those around them extra measures of grace, empathy, and understanding as they support and care for them. But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.  -Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)  Join others at 12 PM today to pray for our local and global community.

Pray for those with depression and anxiety.

Merciful God, we thank you for your promises. Today, we lift up all those suffering with depression and anxiety.  This time of separation and uncertainty are all the more difficult for those who already suffer with this mental health condition and for those experiencing it for the first time now.  Loving God, we thank you that you hear us when we cry out to you and for your promise to be near to the brokenhearted and to those crushed in spirit. We ask that you would replace the darkness of depression with your light. Through your Spirit, Lord, we ask that you replace sadness and anxiety with your joy and peace. Help all those who are weary in spirit and lift them from the pit of despair.  Come quickly, Lord, to save those who are crushed in spirit and experiencing anxiety. We thank you, that you call all of us who are burdened and weary to come to you, and for your promise of rest for our souls. We call upon you now and cling to your promises. Bring healing, in Jesus’ nam...
