DO YOU FEEL LIKE HIDING IN A CAVE?
David wrote this psalm regarding the time he was hiding in a cave while fleeing from Saul. Even though the king of Israel sought to kill him, David trusted in the Lord. And even though he hid in a cave, he was confident that the day of calamity would soon pass by. In the meantime, rested in the shadow of the Lord’s wings as his refuge.
With all the worldwide fear concerning the pandemic, many of us may feel like hiding in a cave. Yet, we too can put our trust in the Lord. We can pray for God’s mercy on this who are already sick and for his mercy on us as we live to serve Him. We can pray for His protection and care. We do not have to be afraid because the Lord is our refuge until this calamity has passed by.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we cast our care upon You. We pray for those who are sick with the Coronavirus. Comfort and heal them, for You are the Great Physician. We pray for protection for our elderly and others at risk. We pray for our local, state, and national leaders, that You will give them wisdom to guide us through these days. We pray for Your Church that we will be the Body of Christ, offering both physical and spiritual help to those in need. May there be an increase of gospel receptivity during these days. And may we be strengthened to share the hope of Jesus with everyone. For it is in His precious name that we pray, amen.
