Is life a bit confusing to you right now?

Are you not sure which way to turn or who to believe is telling the truth?

I suggest you get alone with God and ask Him a few very basic questions.

I have said to many people, “Being at peace in your heart means giving everything you know about yourself to everything you know about God.”

All you may know about yourself is that you are fearful and need some strength and guidance for life in this world gone haywire.

All you may know about God is that He is our Creator and that He is the only one who can forgive you of all you have done wrong.

But you will find peace, stability, and confidence when you give all your fears and failures over to the One who controls the destiny of this world.

Here are 3 things I would urge you to pray to God about in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic:

1. Ask God, “What do You want me to learn about myself in this trial?”

Pray that God will let this world-wide threat define who you really are on the inside as you ponder the future.

2. Ask God, “What do I need to learn about You in this trial?

Read Psalm 91 and identify 10-12 attributes of God and what He will do for you in times like these if you place yourself under His wings of protection.

3. Pray that God’s purposes for your life will be carried out in the coming days and weeks as we walk together through this storm.

I love the old hymn I grew up singing: “In times like these, we need a Savior; In times like these, we need an anchor.

“Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock.”
