Urgent Prayers

Lord hear our prayers for the people in the path of this mighty storm.

Lord spare lives and turn away their destruction even in the middle of crisis

Lord speed the way and make level paths for those fleeing the floods

Lord save souls caught in the path of destruction

Lord see us once again with eyes of Mercy though we have turned our backs in the past. Tonight we urgently and humbly pray seeking your help on this time of need.

Hymn Sing

As I can’t get out to sing for my precious friends at nursing home I made this slightly less than professional hymn sing of some of the well loved songs from the past. I pray this may be a blessing for someone out there today (or tonight)

Jesus Our Life Preserver

Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him, because he knows my name when he calls to me I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. Psalm 91:14-16

Some have compared this new Corona virus to the swine flu outbreak or Ebola. But a more realistic comparison that most of us have forgotten is the polio epidemic of 1916 that swept through cities like New York and Boston. Back then, very much like today panic ensued as tens of thousands were infected and 2,000 deaths occurred in New York City alone. Because we are accustomed to thinking that there is a cure for every conceivable disease that is hard for us to imagine how generations of everyday people could face such uncertainty with courage.

The fears we face today may feel very different than those of the past but our hope remains the same. Our hope is in trusting God. He has promised to be with us. Our hope is not just a doctrine or a trophy to be kept on display but it is our life preserver in desperate times. God has not forgotten us and He has promised to deliver us; answer us in our trouble; rescue us and shows us His salvation.
