What We Can Pray for Today in the Midst of the Coronavirus, March 20.

Sometimes we have to face something bigger than us to realize how much we always need the Lord. There is no doubt, this coronavirus & the numerous temptations & challenges it introduces is bigger than us.

So, let us pray.

Jesus promises us that the Father hears prayer, answers prayer, & gives good things to those who pray.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:7-11
