Ways To Take Action
Trust in God
Even in the darkest of times, we must never forget that God is always in control. He will never leave us or betray us.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Pray
Let’s stand on our faith in the goodness of God. Remember to intercede in prayer for the ill, healthcare workers, businesses that remain open to keep communities fed, and the uncertainty of those that have had to close. Finally, let us not forget to pray on behalf of our government, churches, pastors, church leadership, and congregations worldwide.
1 Timothy 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people-
Be a Good Neighbor
While we are all worried about our own health and that of our family members, it is important to remember our neighbors as we are called to do so by God. Each day try to make an effort to contact someone and let them know you are thinking about them and praying for them. This is especially important for anyone living alone.
Philippians 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
As always, thank you for your continued faithfulness to God.
