Hope 15:13
Finding hope in the coronavirus
Hope 15:13 is built around three actions: pray, prepare and proclaim.
Pray — Each day pray by yourself or with others, either online or in person
- That an effective vaccine for coronavirus will be produced.
- For God to pour out His comforting grace on those left ill and isolated by the disease.
- For strength, protection and wisdom for the medical staff treating the very sick.
- For a spiritual awakening amongst unbelievers to their need for God.
- That the Church would look to God’s Word for guidance and hope.
Prepare — Consider how you can protect and support others
- Keep up to date with advice from the government.
- Consider who in your community is at risk from isolation.
- What practical or emotional support could you give them.
Proclaim — Seek to share this hope as you connect with people every day
- Look for the Holy Spirit to open doors in conversation.
- Prayerfully listen to people’s concerns about the virus.
- Share the hope you have in Christ and the reassurance it gives in this crisis.
- Offer to pray for God’s peace for the person if led to do so.
- Share the hope you have in Christ in practical ways wherever possible.
