Encouragement and Prayer for Healing of the Land- COVID_19


With the pandemic covid-19, around the globe, anxiety, fear and worry has escalated to a level the author had never seen before. Loss of jobs, financial markets in total chaos and stocks valued at ‘nil value’ and day to day life seems to be so difficult, fear of pestilence conquering the heart of most of all people, where should our help comes from?  Confusion in the hearts of people, and all human efforts seem to be failing, where do we turn to? The question remains, in this time, where is our hope? Who is our Savior? Whom shall we trust? Who can lift us out of the pit we are in?   
God's Word says, "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
We can remember the recent events around the globe and relate: For example; the wild fires in Australia(shut up heaven that there be no rain), Africa(locust devouring the crops) and the pestilence the recent pandemic COVID_19 around the globe. God's promises amidst the situation will never change, and He is constant despite our situations and events seem to continuously change. If He says,"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" God is able to do it because He is all powerful and He is not a man to change His promises. So, can we pray? Please join together with me and let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, thou art Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent and who is able to contest with you. Thank you for giving us your precious Son Jesus Christ, as a ransom for us because You know that we cannot do life without Your Son. Thank You for the Holy Spirit who enables, encourages and help us to move forward in this turbulent times. Father we confess that we had sin against You and You alone. Forgive us Lord, and our offences that we did against You and to our neighbours. God we humble ourselves and come to Your throne room of grace standing in need of Your mercy and grace and ask that You would heal us from fear, worry and anxiety and physical ailments and heal our Nations. We want to ascribe glory and honor to Your name because thou art worthy, and worthy to be praised. Thank You for being 'our Father'. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, and we believe that the resurrected power of Christ works within us. To God be the glory, for ever and ever, Amen.
