This is more than a sign speaking hope. The proceeds from its sale help provide for people in need.
If someone is poorly clothed and lacking daily food and you say, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled, without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?” So also faith by itself, if it does not have good works, is dead (James 2:16-17).
Let your faith produce prayer, and your prayer produce good deeds.
A cluster of daffodils looks like people longing to be free.
You can find true freedom during lockdown. If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36).
That is why we pray.
Chalk art that reminded me to choose joy.
Find joy through prayer. “In God’s presence there is fullness of joy (from Psalm 16:11).”
Flowers flourishing in an unlikely place, because they’re soaking up water and sunshine.
Pray that people will thrive during lock down, though reading God’s Word and Christian books*. Jesus said, “The very words I have spoken are spirit and life (John 6:63).“

Good work continues in locked-down Chicago. The ultimate good work is prayer. “Prayer is the work. Ministry is the fruit.”*

Brilliant, bright and beautiful flowers that don’t work. Or worry. Yet God cares for them.
He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? (Matthew 6:30).
Tulips peeking out from behind bars, living proof that the sun still shines in Chicago.
God hasn’t changed. He listens for our cries in the midst of death, disease, isolation, grief and loss. His faithful love endures forever (Psalm 136:1).
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.
Pray with thanksgiving.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Pray with assurance of faith.
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).
