Listen

My future is in your hands. Don’t hand me over to my enemies, to all who are out to get me! Shine your face on your servant; save me by your faithful love!

Psalm 31:15-16

Think

There is a lot of conversation right now about opening up. When will schools, churches, restaurants, sports arenas, and all of the other public places open back up? And what will it look like when they do?

At this point in time, many of these questions remain unanswerable. For some, living without answers is very difficult. But the Psalm reminds us that our future is in God’s hand. We don’t know what tomorrow will hold, let alone next week or next year. One thing we can cling to in this time of the unknown is that God does know, and that God is already preparing us for that future.

As the days of isolation and anxiety stretch on, trust that God is in control. If only we pay attention, God will show us the way.

Pray

God of my life, I don’t know what is coming next, but I trust that you do and that you desire a future for me filled with hope and love. Help me listen for your Spirit, and show me the way. Amen.

Go

Through Jesus Christ, and by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, God provides guidance for us each step of the way.

Go and follow this guidance, full of courage and trust, knowing that God loves you infinitely and will not lead you astray.
