Psalm 42: 1-11
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.
In difficult times it is so easy to question where God is in the storm, we are afraid we will be overwhelmed by it. Yet God wants, in fact expects us, to call out to Him, to determine to lean on Him, to press in to Him, to praise and worship Him because He is our rock, our refuge, our shelter, our hope…..
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2
Lament isn't giving up, it's giving over. When we lift up our sorrow and our pain, we turn it over to the only one who can meet it: our God.” (Josh Larsen)
A prayer for the pandemic
'Lord you are our refuge and shelter and we cry out to you. Forgive us Lord that we haven’t put you first, nor given you the honour you deserve. Lord have mercy and bring an end to this pandemic, it looms above like a huge mountain. Our land has been shaken beyond measure, we fear for our future, for our loved ones – in your mercy Lord relent, bring healing and restoration, have favour on us Lord and bring us rest and revival.’
