The World COVID-19 Marriage & Family Day of Prayer

COVID-19 is a public health crisis. As many of you already know it has also been an emotional and spiritual challenge for countless individuals as well as marriage and family relationships. This situation has provoked anxiety, stress, tension, collective sadness, grief and even spiritual uncertainty. In addition to the loss of loved ones, there have been many other losses—employment, a sense of security and celebrations (graduations, birthdays, weddings, baby dedications and many other festivities that have been a part of our daily lives). The truth is, we’ve lost normalcy, what our lives used to look like before COVID-19. To be sure, marriage and family relationships have been hijacked by the evil one. Consequently, it is time to take these concerns to the Lord in prayer and remember: “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” 1 John 5:14 It is our desire and hope that this day—June 6, 2020—will be a marker, a line in the sand if you will, when we believe and claim God’s promises for our marriage and family relationships. It is time to trust God to do the impossible by enabling us to have His mind (Philippians 2:5) so we can be patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4) with each other as He is with us and exhibit the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) each day in our marriage and family relationships.
