We are losing so much with Coronavirus. We have lost our jobs. We have lost moments that we will never get back again. We have lost our finances to the point of not being able to pay our bills. And there are some that have lost loved ones.
Throughout the scriptures, it is clear that when God seeks to restore, compassion is coupled along with that intention. Jeremiah 34:26 shares, “For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.” It is God’s heart for His chosen people to not only restore, but to compassionately restore something even better than before. Much like John 15 sharing about pruning even the good fruit, at times, things will be removed or cut from our lives so that He can grow something even better in it's place.
A Prayer for Restoration
Dear Lord,
We have seen the damage that Coronavirus has caused in our lives. We know the destruction, aching, and devastation that it has caused. If we are being honest, at times it can seem impossible that anything beautiful or good can come from such sorrows. We know within our hearts that this isn’t the end of the story, that You have something far greater to come.
Father, we ask today for Your hand in our lives. We pray for the restoration of our lives by Your process. That process may not look like what we would think or plan, but we know that because You see all that is, was, and is to come...that ultimately, You will do what is most compassionate and best. Father, today we come before Your Holy throne to ask for Your restoration in our lives. We submit ourselves to Your ever-loving Will and kindness throughout.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
