Psalm
55:22 (AMP)
22 Cast your burden on the Lord [release it],
and He will sustain and uphold you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken
(slip, fall, fail).
The Coronavirus is on every person's lips right
now. Do you think this happened to bring fear into the hearts of people all
over the world? Are we too busy living our lives and forgetting to turn to the
Lord? I realize that it's because of our finances, and we struggle with our
relationships that our focus has moved from God to ourselves. Now the door is
open for fear and anxiety to creep its way into our lives. Some people are
feeling uneasy and restless throughout the day.
Today I want to encourage you to take all the
necessary precautions and make sure you are safe. We should draw near to the
Lord; He is our only way forward. The Psalms remind us to give our burdens to
the Lord, and He will take care of us. In this verse, I see it doesn't refer to
being anxious and that we won't experience any problems. The scripture does,
however, say, when we do have issues, we should give them to the Lord.
Something to think about, why don't you spend some
time today in prayer and speak to God about your fears. Why don't you write it
down so you can see what is bugging you, and is it affecting you negatively?
Speak to fellow Christian friends asking them to pray with you, and deal with
the fears you are facing right now.
Prayer Dear Abba Father, Lord, today I want to pile all my
troubles on Your shoulders, please help me carry this heavy burden. The threat
of the Coronavirus is real, and people are worried and concerned about health.
Lord, as I think of my family and friend, I draw a hedge of Jesus Christ's
blood around my family and friends. Protect each one of us today, let this
illness not come to us. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
