Things I’ve Seen in Chicago During Covid-19 #12

A Bleeding Heart Plant. Their name speaks pain, but the exquisite flowers are beautiful.

The God to whom we pray heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3).

Things I’ve Seen in Chicago During Covid-19 #10

One yellow daffodil outside a brick building. Alone.

When you are alone, remember God has said: “I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).”

He is always there to hear your prayer.

Ferns, wilted hydrangeas and purple pansies. Like wildflowers we bloom and die. The wind blows and we are gone (Psalm 103:15-16).

Lord, teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12).

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.

Stephen’s Last Prayer

“As they stoned him, Steven prayed . . . ‘Lord, don’t charge them with this sin!’ and with that he died. Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen (Acts 7:59-8:1).”

Soon after Stephen’s death, Saul, renamed Paul, believed and preached that through Jesus “there is forgiveness for your sins (Acts 13:39).”

The Lord answered Stephen’s last prayer.

To Your Faith Add Gratitude

Jesus healed ten lepers who cried out for mercy. One said thank you.

Jesus told that man, “Your faith has healed you (Luke 17:18).”

Be like the one.

 

Ask the Lord

Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest;
Ask him to send more workers into the fields (Luke 10:2).

Pray that someone will influence your family and friends to faith in Jesus.
