A PRAYER IN FEARFUL TIMES

Courtney

Dr. David Hull

Loving God, your word says, “Where two or three are gathered.” And many, in this moment, will gather no closer than six feet. The Bible says, “They were all gathered together in one place.” And we do not know when we will be together next.

Triune God, you exist in eternal relationship. You are one and yet are three. In a time of isolation, draw us closer to this mystery. May it remind us of your truth: Even in physical isolation, we are never truly alone. Your love links us together, making us a people. For the Bible also says: We belong to each other. We belong to you. Even now. Especially now.

Amen.

2 Corinthians 5:6–10; 14–17 6 So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord— 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

8 Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil.

14 For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15 And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.

16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. 17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
