The final ‘installment’ of ideas on how to pray for the situation we find ourselves in. How can we pray for protection?

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:13-15).

• That God would heal the elderly and vulnerable who have contracted the virus

• That there would be adequate medical and personal care for all who are affected

• For the friends and family of those who are ill, that they would be comforted and enabled to care for those who are sick

• That God’s mighty hand would be shown through the slowing down and eradication of the virus

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.”

(Psalm 91:1-3)
