Pray for marriages challenged by unexpected circumstances caused by COVID-19: illness, finances, children, parents, uncertainty, loss, but also opportunity.

Lord, we pray for marriage today... ALL marriages. During this time of Social Distancing and Stay at Home orders, marriages are facing multiple distractions. This “new normal” came quickly and without warning. There is not much that can be done, but find ways to address the immediate circumstances and where possible, determine some near-future opportunities.

As we pray, let us: ask, seek, and find.

We ask for each spouse to have a spirit of openness and willingness to work together to find appropriate next steps and have wisdom and clarity in using wisely the resources they have. Give marriages a spirit of togetherness... thinking ‘we’ rather than ‘me.’

We seek for each spouse an understanding of how YOU can use this experience to make us more loving and strong with an attitude of thoughtfulness and prayerfulness rather than panic.

Father, help each spouse find a purpose for staying in the struggle, allowing the community around them to provide spiritual encouragement through another person, couple, or family who can offer support during this difficult time.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

Pray for those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one.

God of compassion, we lift up those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one during this time. Surround them with your presence and fill every longing during this time of separation. We ask that you would hold them close to your heart in the moments when they feel helpless, alone and caught up in deep sadness. God of comfort, in their grief, would you shelter them in the shadow of your wing. Ever-faithful God, help them to feel your love through these words of hope to all your people from the prophet Isaiah: "Because you are precious to me, because I love you, there is no need to be afraid, for I am with you." Father, in this time when families and friends cannot draw near to one another for comfort, we ask that you would be their strong rock, their comforter, healer and friend. Draw them close to you, Lord, and help them to sense your deep love and promised presence.  In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. -Matt...

Pray for the Devenneys in Ivory Coast (West Africa).

Our Father, God and Comforter.  Be with us as we yearn to love and serve in Abengourou, Ivory Coast. Be with our family in Christ there, Pastor Wisdom and the clinic. Allow the clinic to continue to get the necessary medical supplies even with borders closed. Enable the body of Christ in Abengourou to provide food for their neighbors along with the bread of life that lives within them. We ask for protection and your Providence to flow through our teammates, Ian and Kristen Isely, who remain there now. Thank you for this unexpected time back in the US; allow us to find peace and direction in the immediate future as we continue to abide in your sovereignty.

Philippians 4:4-7 - Think of Excellence (The Living Bible)

Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice! Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Join others at 12 PM today to pray for our local and global community.
