Live Well In Covid Times Sample

2 Timothy 1:3-4 NLT

Timothy, I thank God for you ...Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again.

Actually, there are so many people in our lives. We only begin to understand that when we can’t meet them. Life has its own way to teach us the value of others - the ones we love, the difficult ones and the ones we take for granted and all the others who make up our lives.

Paul thanked God for Timothy. In Romans 16, Paul thanked and appreciated people by name. He took time to do it because it was important to him, and it was important to God, and that’s why Paul’s thank-you list finds a place in the Bible!

This is a good time to thank God for all the people He has put in our lives. And we need to appreciate people genuinely and generously. It may be your family, relatives, friends, your colleagues at work, your brothers and sisters from church, neighbours and those who serve us.

1 Peter 4:8 NLT 

Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

As you are spending your time at home, maybe you are bonding more as a family and praise God for that. 

On the other hand, some of you may be struggling to relate to your family and you realise that there are so many holes in your relationships. I encourage you to take your struggles to the Lord and ask Him to help you to genuinely love your family. Love covers the shortcomings of others.

Meditate:

* Read Romans 16:1-16

Pray: 

* Thank God for all the people He has placed in your life. Pray for God’s protection over them.

* Pray for at least 3 people for whom you have never prayed before.

* Pray for 3 people who don’t know Jesus. Pray for their salvation.
