In this time of pandemic people need to feel even more the support and prayers of others. They are confused and yearn for direction amid the uncertainty that comes nowadays.

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
1 Peter 5:2 NLT

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
1 Peter 5:2 NLT
Think about it:
What people has God commissioned you to take care of?
How are you taking care of them? Are you praying for them?
Are you doing it with joy or by obligation?
What does being a blessing for other people produce in you?
