In this new month of uncertainty, The One, is certain. As we do each month, let’s start with prayer, and choose to believe that He is in control of all things… Dear Abba Father, how desperately we need you in this time of upheaval. I pray for those suffering with COVID-19 and for the doctors and nurses who are overwhelmed with patients. Grant first responders grace and stamina as they care for our people and please restore the financial structure of our nation. Dear Father, use this crisis to realign our hearts with yours. I praise you I can be confident in my heavenly home even in chaos. I am grateful I serve a risen Savior, not a god made of stone or a figment of my imagination. The great I AM is my Father. Jesus is risen. He is risen, indeed. In Jesus name, Amen.

How can we cope? Historian Rebecca Price Janney shared stories from history to help us get a perspective on today’s problems.
Before I became a parent, I determined I wouldn’t make the mistakes I’d seen others make. I had a long list of criteria that would dazzle any child. However, soon after I had my first child, I discovered parenting challenged me. I had several more, and that feeling grew. Kids aren’t alike so what worked for one didn’t work with the rest. I discovered prayer and good counsel helped.

As we do each month, let’s start with prayer: Father God, King of the Universe, I praise you for life, breath, and another day to glorify you. Thank you for waking the trees and flowers in the spring and for leaving beauty despite the fall. With Your Spirit guide every word I speak so I can bless and encourage those around me. May I live every day with eternity in view and shun selfish thoughts. In Jesus name, Amen.
