2nd May

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,

plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Lord Jesus,

Thank you that our times are in your hands, you are in charge

and nothing and no one can thwart your plans.

We lift to you all those who had plans for special family events, now missed or postponed:

a wedding, a birthday, a holiday or visit to see loved ones living abroad.

Lord take their pain and disappointment

and minister to their loss and uncertainty.

Be their hope for the future.

Thank you that you are FOR US,not against us

and your plans are for us to grow and flourish as we depend on you.

Teach us contentment, how to live in the NOW,

choosing to put our trust in you for our future.

In Jesus name

Amen.
