This weeks Covid Prayer Notes published on Christians United
WEEKLY PRAYER GUIDE – COMMENCING 15TH NOVEMBER 2021
Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. 50 My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life. 51 The arrogant mock me unmercifully, but I do not turn from your law. 52 I remember, LORD, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them.
There is an old song about standing on the promises of God. These are the promises we get in his word. It comforts us, preserves our life and comforts us. Learn, pray, sing and believe the promises.
Quote: “A grave with Christ is a comfortable place” – John Flavel

A Prayer of Repentance: Lord, we confess that we often forget your promises. We do not know them. We neglect them. We do not meditate on them. We trust in our own word, or the words of others. Forgive us and teach us to trust what you say absolutely. In Jesus name, Amen.
Song: This is a new song from the Gettys and Sandra McCracken…- Pass the Promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-I1JzkzNug
A Prayer of Thanksgiving: Lord God, we bless and praise you that you are the God of the Covenant – who is faithful in keeping your promises. We praise you for these great and precious promises – most of all the promise of Christ and the promise of the Spirit. We worship and thank you for our privilege in being able to fellowship with the triune God, Amen.
Covid Prayer – Ps 119, Prayers, Facts and Figures – and The Cave,
People are going to die. Are you praying that people ought not to die?
God cursed this Fallen world and it’s not going to get better – it’s going to get worse and that is His will and we need to accept it and live in faith for the ‘new heavens and the new earth.’
8 Billion people on Planet Earth
5 Million deaths.
That’s in 2 years and a long long long long long way from the death toll of the Spanish flu in a world population at that time of around 1.8 billion
In the UK the average age of those who die from Covid 83 years and 6 months.
People need to get a grip and quit being panicked by the politico-science construct with an agenda of scaremongering for the purpose of Population Control
Will, do you never pray that it might please the Lord to heal and restore someone, regardless of the cause of the illness? Even Jesus healed sick people. Do you never pray something similar for yourself or even visit the doctor? Sorry, but your comment as I read it has echoes of the comment allegedly made by Boris Johnston at the start of the pandemic – let the bodies pile high in the streets.
John,
My comments were made in the context that science illiterate politicians including Boris Johnson have taken the knee to ‘science’ and swallowed whole what one group i.e. SAGE some of whom have a financial stake in pharma companies.
There are many other scientists at least as well qualified as those in the other camp and who strongly disagree with the SAGE (it could be an oxymoron) group.
We can’t stop people dying. And this covid situation has been overblown and nowhere near the much more serious situation of the Spanish flu – and the world wasn’t shut down then.
Additionally, there are huge numbers of very sick people who are not receiving treatment for heart, cancer and other conditions due to this mishandling of the situation.
It was in that context I made my observations and I see no reason to change my view and especially not when the average age of those who succumb – in the UK that is – is 83 years and 6 months.
