Please join us in praying for our country--and the world--during
this coronavirus outbreak.
Dear Lord, protect us and keep us
free from COVID-19 infection. Help all who are working hard to
contain the spread of this virus, especially those
in the healthcare professions and those caring for the sick.
Give clarity and right judgement to the WHO, CDC, NIH and
federal, state and local agencies combating this outbreak.
Guard all of us and especially our elderly and immunocompromised.
Bring healing to those who have the disease, Eternal Glory to those
who have succumbed to the virus and
comfort to the families who have lost loved ones.
God bless us, and God bless the United States of America.
Amen.
We are so grateful for all of you—for your friendship and your support!
May the Lord bless you and your families abundantly throughout this
Easter Season

On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead.

DeleteHappy Easter to all of you! I'd appreciate prayer for friends of ours who lost their son in a car accident last weekend.
ReplyDeleteI’m joining Seekerville in prayer for all requests and in celebration for the meaning of Easter. Please pray for my youngest son, an ICU nurse treating COVID-19 patients and for his pregnant wife, a cardiac unit nurse who is expecting their first child in June. Thank you! Your prayers bless so many.
