Father, we give you praise this morning! We thank you that you are magnificent and full of wonder! In spite of everything that is happening around us, we say thank you. We thank you that  you love us. We thank you that you have made us sons and daughters. We thank you that you choose to be our friend. We thank you for your patience with us. We love you so much and truthfully, we can’t praise you enough. So wherever we are we pause and lift our hand and say “thank you”.

Now Lord, we come boldly. We ask that you would continue to protect our families and our friends. For those of us who are in close quarters all day with spouses, parents, or children, we pray that you would help us to appreciate the time. Give us grace and patience. Restore broken relationships and even elevate relationships that are already good to make them better. For those who are spending more time alone and can’t have visitors, we pray that you would speak to them and let them find comfort in You.  Help them to connect and reconnect through phone, texts, email and other technology. We pray that this would be a time of rest – restoring our souls. Lord, we pray that you would protect those who continue to go to work. Bless the work of their hands and keep them safe. Lord, put your hand on every Dr., nurse, lab tech, and medical professional and for those who don’t know you, let them have a revelation of Jesus. Father, for those who don’t have any income during this time, we pray that you would become their Source. Let them not lack and let them not be destroyed. And we pray for wisdom for the President, Congress, Governors, Mayors, Commissioners and every governmental leader. We know that the heart of the king is in your hands. Lord, heal our land and show yourself not only in this nation, but throughout the earth! Kingdom of God come and will of God be done!

Father, we declare innovation and creativity out of chaos and confusion. We say that there will be rivers in deserts and a harvest in famine. We call forth a people that is more focused, committed and intentional! We say that in this time more than ever, people will be catapulted into their destiny and walk in divine purpose! We declare that we will not be defeated by COVID 19 or anything else, but that we will come out on the other side stronger! Even if a thousand fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand, it will not come nigh us! In Jesus’ name! Amen!
