1 Timothy 2:1-6
“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, there is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.”
One of the best things we can do in times of uncertainty, doubt, and fear is pray. Our prayers lead us to peaceful and quiet lives which is something our world desperately needs to see right now. Now is the time for us, the church, to represent well the message of hope that is available only through Jesus.
Respond in Prayer:
1. Pray for our country, our world, for government officials, for medical professionals, and all those on the front lines who are doing their best to keep us safe. Ask God to help them (intercede on their behalf) and give thanks for them!
2. Ask God today that your life might be marked by the kind of peace and quiet that is available only through Him. Ask Him to open your eyes and ears to those in your life who desperately need this message of hope.
