Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
ABBA, Father, the one who gives us life, and does so abundantly. I humbly stand before you to praise you and seek help. I praise you because come what may, You, are in control. I praise You because I know You and Your will are not my enemy. I praise You because it gives me joy to exalt You. Praising my almighty Father is what Youdelight in, it's the purpose You gave me.
Father, YHWH, my joy in praising you has been deeply diminished. With Covid19, the irreverence of humankind towards You and itself, seeing the innocent suffer while the evil ones gloat in presumed victory, my soul is disquieted within me. Please Father, show us, Your faithful, how to rid the world of this pestilence, heartache, and destruction. We are all affected by all of this somehow, some way. Your word says You will never forsake us. That is the hope I cling to daily.
Despite the events and demeanor of the world around us, mine and me will always praise You. Please restore the joy to our praise. Let not depression, disease, crime, hatred, or anything else rob us of that gift, joy.
Father I lift up all the sick, destitute, misled, and hurting people of this world. I pray that more than myself is praying for them. Put Your gentle yet firm and guiding hand into there lives and show them Your love and healing power. Restore their hope and faith in You!
This I humbly ask......
Amen.
