A: To pray.
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked way, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night (Genesis 8:22).
Even in Chicago.
On August 2, 2020, God put this rainbow in the sky over Chicago’s Lake Michigan.
Also on the weekend of August 2, 2020, 34 Chicagoans were shot, 9 fatally, one of whom was a 9 year old boy.*
God notices the violence in Chicago, just He noticed it in the days of Noah.
But God has said, “When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters destroy all life (from Genesis 9:15-16).”
Remembering God’s promise, we pray.
If Jesus knew we would do whatever He asked, what would He ask?
Am I willing?
Are you?
A cross, whose message offers life and hope to all who pray, believing.
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
A church’s locked gate. But the gospel is not chained. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).”
If you believe, pray.
The sun rose beneath dark and brooding clouds just before Chicago’s mayor issued a Covid-19 shelter in place order.
As you pray remember God’s glory shines in darkness.
Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. . . . “It is written,” he said to them, “My house will be called a house of prayer (Matthew 21:12-13).
During COVID-19 and beyond, your home can be a house of prayer.
You pray for the salvation of those you love.
Here’s how to say the Gospel in 25 words:
“The wrong things we do separate us from God. Jesus Christ died, paying our penalty, and rose again, proving he is God. Trust in Him.”*

Knowing God’s character helps you pray.
“Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity . . . because he delights in steadfast love (Micah 7:18).”
