Thought for the Day by Phil Moon (Vicar)

Picture
​
Praying in a global pandemic? Of course we do.

Last Friday we had a good pray for the NHS, and we’ll be praying each Wednesday at 7.00pm for half an hour on Zoom, not just for the NHS but for our country and beyond. When you’re in a pickle the natural response is to cry for help; that’s what we’ll be doing, and I’m sure we’ve all been praying for our country a lot in recent months. Crying for help. And our prayer meetings are a communal call for help.

It’s always particularly struck me how communal the early churches were, and I’ve been reminded of it again just this week. They ate together, they did evangelism together, they met together, they shared possessions together, they suffered together, and when things were good or perhaps particularly when things were bad, they prayed together. Of course they did.

Here’s just one example from Act 12. I love v5 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.” Of course they were. It’s what we expect isn’t it?
And I think if you asked people around here what they’d expect the church to be doing during a global pandemic, some of them at least would be expecting us to be praying. Together. Of course they would.
Praying in a global pandemic? Of course we do.
Phil
