2020 is far from what anyone planned. The rest of the year may not be what we hoped for either, but it has to be what we make it. The attitude and end result will be up to us.

If we can watch the COVID statistics and know a loved one is not there we are blessed. If loved ones who are suffering from other illness are still getting treatment we are thankful. If we have a job, roof over our head and food on the table we are rich.

Dear Jesus,
Our plans for 2020 may not be what we wanted or hoped for.
Some moments have been a little scary. 
But as our rock Jesus we stand on you. 
We trust the the plans you have for us are for our future. 
You are our hope, our peace our joy. 
Please bring comfort to the hurting,
Healing to the sick,
Shelter to the homeless,
Food and provision to the hungry. 
Remind us that these times of a pandemic are only temporary,
Let us use the time to love and care for each other,
Just as you taught us. 
We are not alone, your Holy Spirit is with us,
Protect the mental health of our nation as much as our physical health.
Let us realise these ruined plans of ours,
Are nothing compared to the blessings you have for us in the future. 
So help us make the rest of 2020 joyful in our hearts even if it isn't the way we want it to be. 
Amen.
