Casting Crowns - Praise You In This Storm (Live from YouTube Space New York)

The sun and beauty of the new morning remind me of the hope we have in each new day and more importantly in Jesus! I ask...

Continued prayers of health and healing for those who have medical conditions or concerns. Take away anxiety, fear, and unrest and replace with calm and peace.

Comfort for a friend and family whose loved one has passed and a daily reminder of the hope we have of being together in heaven through Christ.

Blessings on those who work hard to make our lives better while in isolation - health care workers, first responders, grocery and food service providers, teachers, etc. Lay on our hearts to lift them up in prayer for strength and perseverence.

Remind each morning and evening as each day changes, Dear Lord, that your love never changes and you are our rock an hope in all things.

I am so thankful to start this morning off with something so familiar as Prayer and Praise. I closed my eyes for a moment and could clearly see all of those little bodies lined up on either side of the hall singing 2 -6 word behind each other! What a blessing to have this piece of normal back in our lives.

The Lord´s Prayer  & Hymn - The Lutheran Hour

# data[].attributes.body
It is so hard to wait, but we know that the Lord is guiding our leaders and decisions are being made which don't fit our "plans".  God does everything in his own time and he is with us and surrounds us with his love.  Let us take this time to share with our families and friends our love for each other and the joy there is in fellowship, even by phone or skype or email.  Let us all reflect God's love as we work day to appreciate the wonderful life God has given us
Prayers:
for our healthcare workers on the front line, caring for the sick and emergency cases.  Give them protection, patience and loving care as they work tirelessly to attend to all our needs.
-for all our school families who are home and learning in a new environment.  Give our parents and students patience as they adjust to this new world of learning and sharing.  Support them in all their activities and may they grow in God's love as they spend more time together
-for our teachers, adapting their skills to teach their kids online and in new and unique ways.  Bless their efforts to reach out to their students and move them forward in knowledge, knowing that God is in control and truly blesses their efforts
-to Our Shepherd Church staff, School Staff and School Board as we manage the operation and function of the church and school without people present.  Thanks for your faithful workers and bless our efforts to tie the church and school family  together
Thank you Lord for our church and school supporters!

Unplanned by me, but clearly planned by God, these verses were in my Bible reading this morning:
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in my you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Psalm 11:1
"In the Lord I take refuge."

I am praying for peace, understanding, and wisdom for everyone right now as we go through this strange time.

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.

The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.

Praying for all of our families to know God’s presence and God’s protection every day.

“But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory,

the One who lifts my head high.

I call out to the Lord,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.

I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

Psalm 3:3-5

I am praying for all of our students and families that they feel the peace of God in these uncertain times and can find joy and blessings in the midst of the upheaval and change.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.  Isaiah 54:10
