O Lord my God, if there is unconfessed sin in their lives, if there is wrong in their hands, If they have paid back with evil him who was at peace with them or without cause have robbed him who was their enemy, we ask Your Holy Spirit to encourage them to confess and receive Your faithfulness to forgive by the blood of Jesus.

Amen. *REPENTANCE* in Jesus' name!

NOTE: just found out that the word QUARANTINE comes from the Latin word for "40" ...

The connection between quaranine, 40, and Lent The word “quarantine” is from the Italian word “quaranta” which means forty. The practice of quarantine originated long before people understood it medically. And they picked forty days not because of any medical reason, but a biblical one. In the Bible, forty is often associated with purification: 40 days and nights of rain for Noah’s flood, 40 years in the wilderness for God’s people before entering the promised land, Jesus’ 40 day fast before He began His ministry, and of course, these have morphed into our present-day seaon of 40 days of Lent! So whether people realize it or not, a quarantine has to do with Lent and forty days of purification.

Interesting and thank you for sharing.

Father God, we ask that this quarantine time will move us to seek victory in You.

Judgment is visiting us medically and economically. May it peel away our idols and distractions. May it lead us as a nation, to invite You back into our schools, institutions, government and culture.

Shape us, Lord, a nation that lifts Your Name on High. Burn away the dross. Replenish the soul of this nation with the hope, the love, and the mercy that is Jesus Christ.

Amen
