I AM Home Coffee Time

Hi all- This past week has been kind of a rough week as I'm seeing that many people are getting frustrated with being quarantined.  I see lots of fear, hate, aggravations, and distrust of people, the situation, and the government.  Since this is a pandemic which means every nation has this virus, than we shouldn't even consider this is about politics or our rights into the mix of things.  Neither should we be pointing fingers at our leaders as this is new to them and not something that was ever planned to happen.  I believe that the only thing right now whether or not you want to believe our freedoms are being taken away or this is just another strain of flu, there is nothing that we can do about it.  We're vulnerable for the first time in our lives for most of us.  This isn't like a war where you will win either way.  Like it or not it's out of our control.  So, who do we look to when we need something to be under control, our belief's in God, ...

Lord Jesus, please be with those who are working on the frontlines of this virus and seeing so much depression and death. We know that you give us the comfort we need to get through this. Give all of our doctors and nurses strength and keep them safe from harm. Lift them up Lord and show them what needs to be done. Walk before them with your love and peace. Give our scientists the vaccine that is needed to stop the COVID-19, so that it can be administered to those who are in need of it right now, in the name of Jesus. I ask that you save us all from this horrible virus, that your Holy Spirit travels throughout the whole earth to heal all of those who need healing from the virus. We ask this for you have promised us that no plague shall come near our dwelling in Psalm 91, we proclaim that promise for the whole word. We ask this in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus. Amen! Please pass this prayer on! Let's keep it going! Many blessings, Pastor Jeanne Marie
