A Prayer a Day: Good afternoon, Father God. It’s a sunny day in Springfield,Ohio. It is especially pleasing to me, because I watched the Weather Channel and the weatherman said, cool, cloudy, and rain. Based on that weather prediction, I wasn’t expecting much in the weather department. It just goes to show you, we human being are fallible and prone to getting things wrong. That’s a very good reason for us, to put our faith in your promises, Lord, instead of in other human beings’ predictions. One promise you made to us is in Isaiah 43:2, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” This is a fabulous promise, that you gave to us.You, God, never promised we would not have adversity. You, God, promised to be with us and help us over life’s hurdles. We thank you, Holy God, for helping us through the uncertainty of this Coronavirus pandemic. We thank you for this perfect Spring day. Lord, send your Holy Spirit to encourage and inspire us to navigate the challenges before us. Come Holy Spirit and make us brave: amen.
