Heavenly Father,
We are in the midst of a pandemic, pain, pandemonium, and pressure from sheltering in place…but You, O God are our refuge and we know that You are at work. Lord, some of us are in dry, desert places and we are thirsty for Your presence. Yet in the midst of discouragement, our hope is in You, O God, the fountain of living waters!
Thank you for protecting us, providing for us, and perfecting us. Your awesome power is displayed in our lives each and every day! Thank you for the power of memory, allowing us to look back and know that the God who sustained us & brought us victoriously through every previous crisis, is the same God who is present and attentive to us in this moment.
As our spirits are refreshed and renewed by Your Word and by prayer, we give you praise! Lord, we wait expectantly for the new thing that You are about to bring forth, and we embrace all that you have in store for us!
