Clarity in Chaos

(By Ruth Jones)
In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor;
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Chorus
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the One;
This Rock is Jesus, the only One!
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!

God, I intercede on behalf of your people trying to keep their jobs. I first of all say thank you for the blessing you have been to us. We have watched so many around us lose jobs, homes, vehicles, and you have had mercy on us. We sit not prideful, because we know it was only because of your mercy we have not been consumed. Though we would like for things to have been better, we thank you that they have not been worse.

God I pray that you touch the leadership of companies. God we touch and agree for wisdom, strength, and compassion for the people employed.

God, I also pray for the strength of the employees. We have been through so much, and admit that we are weary. We need your help. It is hard to say, but like Paul, we know that ‘it was good that we were afflicted.’ The worst of times, has brought out the best in us. For this we thank you.

God I pray not for any certain outcome, but that your divine will be done. I pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual strength for all those effected – employees and their families. We admit that we cannot handle this, but know that you can.

Give us all peace in the midst of this storm, clarity in the midst of chaos. Help us to know that even our afflictions are part of your plan. Because of that we have peace, knowing that you’ve got this in control. Though we cannot see it right now, we know that better is on the way. As Will Smith said, “spring will come after winter, like it always does.”

So we put this in your hands….it is too heavy for us to bear. Our limits are your starting points.

It is so.
