Our response to trouble ... pray for the Spirit’s help

Morning: Psalms 93, 96; Genesis 44:1-17; Romans 8:1-10

It is natural and necessary to be preoccupied with material issues when the world is in ‘crisis mode’ with this coronavirus. Certain concrete actions are called for and bring benefits for all - health-care provisions, hand-washing, and ensuring there is enough food in case you become isolated. But it is the Spirit who will sustain us so that we get through these days well. The fruits of the Spirit are “love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control”. Pray for the guidance and wisdom of the Spirit so that our concrete actions are seasoned with grace and goodwill.
