“But
you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own
possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light.” (1Peter 2:9 esv)

us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive

The
Prayer
Lord,
we humble ourselves before You today in prayer. Our hearts are saddened by the
reports coming from our own nation and around the world of the continued spread
and devastation of COVID-19.
Today,
we draw near to Your “Throne of Grace” in confidence and faith knowing You will
hear our prayer.
Your
Word says that though we were a people who once were in “darkness” without You,
You were merciful to us and called us out of darkness and into Your “Marvelous
Light.”
You
made us “a royal priesthood, a holy nation.”
You
are a God who is full of mercy, compassion, and grace.
You
said we can “receive mercy” in our “time of need.”
We
need Your help.
We
cry out to You, because our world is in a desperate place. COVID-19 has created
a dire time of need, but we are standing in faith on the promises of Your Word.
Today,
we are believing that as you appointed the Old Testament priests to stand in
the gap as intercessors to see plagues and disease eradicated, so You will use
the Church to intercede and see covid-19 eradicated from the earth. Therefore,
we stand together as Your royal priesthood, and take authority over the
COVID-19 virus.
We
pray COVID-19 will BE ERADICATED; the victims will BE HEALED; the doctors,
nurses, scientists, first responders, and the vulnerable will BE PROTECTED.
WE
ASK ALL OF THESE THINGS IN YOUR NAME,
JESUS
CHRIST. AMEN!
