Tuesday Daily Prayer

May 5, 2020

O God, please teach us, grow us, and help us to be accepting of new things, generous with old things and always ready to learn something new. Especially during these strange and difficult pandemic days, strengthen us as compassionate citizens, ready to help, eager to serve, and careful with responsible interactions. Help us as a church to know what to do and when to return to our scared physical space of First Baptist Decatur. Give us the wisdom to adapt and the patience to learn what is best, for now and for the future.

We know we are not the first to endure times of unknowing; we also know that those who have gone before us have endured far worse. So for now, allow our perspective to be broad, deep and discerning. And most of all, let our love so shine, that your light shines through who we are and what we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
