Pray that the Lord may open the eyes of the nations affected by coronavirus

We pray that the Lord may open the eyes of the nations and its people in the light of this epidemic as he said to Paul.

Acts 26:18 ESV ; to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

and again

2 Kings 6:17 ESV
Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

We pray for the believers that

1) God may open their eyes to God’s protection against the evil by the shield of faith and the blood of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 6:16)

2) God may open our eyes to what is required of us, to the secrets of his kingdom and the glory of his coming.

3) God may pour out his spirit these days and reveal his will to his servants as he does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7).

4) God may heal all sicknesses among us, that we may be a light to the Gentiles, showing the way in the midst of darkness.

5) God may bless our churches and its people to  lead  as a  light of the world, in this time of trouble and to bring many out of darkness and poverty.

6) That we may humble ourselves with prayers and fasting, knowing fully that that it is the Lord who works and not us , to him belongs all the glory and praise with whom all things are possible and whose loving kindness and mercies are great(Judges 7:2, Judges 7:7, Psalm 36:7, Jeremiah 31:3, 2 Chronicles 7:14,Matthew 19:26)

We pray for the world that

1) God may open the eyes of the people, that they may turn from darkness and fear to the true light of the Lord, and experiencing healing and peace in the Lord, to develop immunity against the virus.

2) God may open the eyes towards his true worship and to break down all the idols of individuals and the nations and bless them to come to him in all purity.

3) God may open their eyes to the dilemma’s people, government, leaders face(whether to be near their loved ones who are sick health workers risk to their own loved ones etc), to provide them consolation at this time, and to be able to take the right decisions.

4) God may break the hearts of the proud and the unrepentant, that they may grow closer to God and to be born(again) in him.

5) God may lead the hearts of the nations to his love. (John 3:16).

6) God may open the eyes of the nations and its people’s heart to make itself ready for the Lord.

7) God may protect the leaders and the people from evil influences, conspiracies, rumors in this time of need. To be able to judge correctly and to know their right leaders and a true God.

8) God may open the eyes of those most affected by this situation, (lock down, panic etc) economically and physically(health wise), to be touched and protected by his saving and healing grace of the Lord, and by his Holy Spirit, that they may turn to him and be healed and saved .

We pray for our leaders that.

1) God may open the eyes of our leaders with wisdom and understanding, to respond correctly to this situation. To be able to lay down the right support, laws and rules, over any lock-down and to be able to cope with the fear and sorrow of the people.

2) God may open the eyes of our health institutions and health workers with wisdom and understanding, to respond correctly to this situation. To provide and discover the right treatment and to be able to provide the right reports and numbers, and  the right solutions.

Know that everything that the enemy does will turn to God’s glory by faith. Read about Joseph (Gen 50:20), and about all great men of God(Heb 11). May you be be covered by the shield of faith and the blood of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus.Amen
