I completely agree this is a wake-up call for all people. I can understand grieving lost loved ones, but what else is there to grieve? We are not supposed to grieve worldly possessions, activities and our own expectations. This is a time to repent, pray, read the Word of God, witness and praise the Lord. Holy Spirit-filled Christians have no reason to grieve anything about this world, aside from lost loved ones. If you are grieving the loss of your normal life, please seek the Lord for true joy and peace that surpasses our understanding. We are to be like Paul and witness and praise even when in prison (or quarantined)❤️
I agree. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 I grieved and still do for my husband who died 20 months ago and for my parents and my brother who also have died. Grief for loved ones is understood by God, but even that grief is not without hope. Diane in NC
Blessings and prayers from Guatemala: we have gone through many disasters in (my decades of life) time, I rejoice at every opportunity to go to the Bible and realize that on the other end of the line there is my Creator ready to give me the best advices, at no cost. Death is blind force, Salvation is a process, a delightful process of love.
God Bless you my friend...I understand struggles also and if not for God and our Savior I would have left this world long ago...But He has always kept me and given me a way to move forward. "Salvation is a process, a delightful process of love." Amen...Thank you for your words of encouragement!
Let’s be patient with God, He’s been patient with us. The time is drawing near, and He wants us to look up, and recognize that He is God , there is no other . There are people all over the world who are suffering. We here in this Country are so accustom to comfort,and an abundance of material things, and this makes it more difficult to cope. This phase will pass, but there will be more of these times.
I read a prayer from one of your books every morning. This makes my day so much better after reading my book all of y time. So nice to be able to put face to your wonderful stories of life and the Bible, Blessings to you and your family Amen.
Yes, I too pray for revival. I have a strong feeling that God is planning something big from all of this and though it may sound strange to some people, I am at peace believing that God will turn this into something monumental and good. Diane in NC
Amen ! I tell the grandkids when it rains and clouds form ! It is not as it appears ! Above the clouds the sun shines ! Although things look bad and you think Jesus is not listening , He Is ! The Son Shines ! Be happy ! It rains violet's ! God has not turned His back ! He is preparing a new blessing for you ! Be happy ! Be joyful ! Have peace in Jesus ! Gods blessing upon all ! Wake up ! The tomb is empty ! Jesus is risen !
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalms 122:6 KJV. My prayer request is for the Shalom of Jerusalem, NOT that I am seeking His hand, but that I truly want what He wants! Considering others to be of higher esteem than I do myself, that I also prefer others before myself...
This I think is the best time to take time to be with God spend time with Him and let His work to cleanse and change anything in us that needs it . In fact to that end I’ve gotten hold of two of pastor Lucados books that are bible studies on the book of Ephesians and Acts . I’ve also gotten another book I can’t remember who by that is a bible study on the life of David and how that can apply to our lives today and another one that’s a course in evangelism and how to witness to people effectively . I have also been sending out scripture text messages on my phone daily now too for quite a while . I’m praying they will bless people and bare fruit for Jesus . Those were the positive things that I could think to do at this time .
Max is an emotional teacher. Emotions are of the Mind of the Soul NOT the Mind of the Spirit. The is Wood, Hay and stubble! People be one with the Holy Spirit and the Mind of Christ. There is freedom and liberty in the Spirit. He teaches "ABOUT" God. Principles of God are good but they are not attached to Faith. We have to Live By Faith and Faith connected to God. People that are connected to God by Faith in the Holy Spirit during these times are Very Inspired NOT depressed! We Can't Wait to See What God is doing He is doing a Perfect Work. Be Thankful for all Things! This is What God Requires! Be Not Anxious for Nothing..Nothing But by Prayer and Thanksgiving See What God is doing! This is a Time To Listen To His Still Small Voice. He sounds defeated! We Are More Than Conquers Through Christ Who Strengthens Us! Be Not Shaken in Mind! Be Courageous! Let the Weak Say I AM STRONG. BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT! These are circumstances we are not to be Soon Shaken in Mind! God is doing a Perfect Work! Trust Him, Talk to Him and Be Still...Listen to Him. God is Tearing Down all Things That are Not Built On the Firm Foundation of Christ.
key note:Well said and should be applied by every Spirit filled, born again saint! As it is written, Hold fast to love and wait expectantly on you God!
GOD WE KNOW YOU ARE IN CONTROL AND YOU HAVE A REASON FOR EVERY THING THAT HAPPENS!!!WE PRAISE YOU IN THE GOOD TIMES AND ALSO IN THE BAD!!!!! YOU ARE OUR GOD AND YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN! THANK YOU FATHER WITH ALL THAT IS WITH IN ME!!! I LOVE YOU AND WILL SEE YOU ONE DAY!!!! I WILL LOOK UPON YOUR FACE AND THANK YOU FOR EVERY BLESSING YOU HAVE PLACED ON ME AND MY FAMILY!!!! LOVE YOUR CHILD!!!!
I agree with Mr. Lucado and enjoy his books! On a side note (not concerning Max Lucado): while we’re in quarantine in our homes, let’s continue to pray to God and all the while be grounded in the gift of REALITY. Most Christians are reality based, but some get off in these ridiculous conspiracy theories and wild notions that do not seem to be from Christ but from their own manic imaginations or from another who simply want attention at the moment! Discernment is needed at this time, as well as faith and patience! God bless
God bless you brother Max and your ministry and All My brothers and sisters all over the world 🙏 and remember 🕛---Its almost midnight all the way from Australia 🇦🇺"" G Day mate"" 😃👍
your prayer is one I speak to God regularly...I am glad to see myself in the light of Jesus and the sacrifice He made for my sin. I don't dwell on it but I never want to lose the reality of the price He paid and who I would be without Him...Take Care, we are forgiven and loved...God bless you...
In the name of Jesus and by His Blood, it's already done according to His WORD. God calleth those things that be not as though they were. Romans 4:17. The Coronavirus is gone. Philippians 4:19. Love one another just as Jesus said. FAITH works by LOVE. If people don't have pure love in their hearts for all of mankind, they are missing the mark and don't know it. Repentance to GOD is what it is all about. It's not about more money. It's about being obedient to God in every area of our lives.. Then, the money will come. A-men. GLORY to GOD always. The kingdoms of this whole Earth have because the kingdoms of our LORD and of His Christ and He shall reign forever. GLORY to GOD A-men.
I thought of the Passover and after Passover it will indeed pass and people will come out of our homes with appreciation for life and appreciation for family and friends.
You encouraged Evangelicals to vote for Democrats in the last Presidential election... really I forgive you and Love you, at the same time, your lies and deceptions have aligned you in unfaithfulness, unbelief and darkness Could you imagine what this country and world would be like if we listened to you and not God, and voted for Hillary Clinton? Half of the world's population would have already been terminated by now. Several times Paul wrote specifically about people, named them in the letters he wrote, and Sir, you are a public figure, your Words are much more powerful then you communicating with people. They are Creation forming weapons, for Good and for Bad.
I didn't believe he encouraged anybody to vote for Hillary, because he didn't support Trump. I'm a conservative who didn't support Trump, but that doesn't mean I voted for Hillary.
Timothy Elliot - Sir, if what you say is true, I am aghast! Can you please provide some documentation to support this very serious charge? This is a game-changer, if true.
Pastor Lucado I need prayers for my son Jeremy the Lord knows who it is so I don't have to say his last name because he knows for sure who I'm speaking about my son's lost Into Darkness I asked prayers that he'd find his way back to the Lord we're on short time here and when I leave and go to heaven I want to be able to see my son in Heaven 2 please prayers prayers prayers for him thank you I just love listening everytime I find you on TH-cam
Get right with God friends, don't wait another day! About 500 prophecies fulfilled hundreds and thousands of years in advance prove the Bible is God's word. Believe and repent, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4!
The enemy want we kill each other this is all geared towards the direction. Then he will be somewhere laughing at us. Now we can only practice kindness and love to one another then we can overcome.
Silence is always hard for us to deal with but that doesn't mean God does not hear our prayers. The answer always comes but not on our timeline. As i look back on my time when i couldn't here anything from God, i realize that he was helping me build patience and also testing me to see if i will give up . Please don't give up. The answer always comes.
You will stay in the valley until after the great tribulations & armonegedd on because your disobedience to his commandments like the sabbath not Sunday sabbath lie!
Jesus we repent. Please heal our land. We pray for all who have lost loved ones.

This is well said with an exception. It is desirable to grieve for that which grieves the Almighty like injustice and unnecessary suffering and such.
@@ebonyivory2023 You are correct. If the Almighty grieves, we certainly should too.
Yes I agree! Amen

Jesus is the resurrection and life.

Very well said and yes, this phase will indeed pass.
Also, psalm 30:5 declares that weeping endures for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Forgive for our sins Lord. Pls come Lord Jesus and heal our heart and land.
Revive thy work O Lord. Disturb our sleep of death .Speak with the voice that wakes the dead, and make thy people hear.
I read a prayer from one of your books every morning. This makes my day so much better after reading my book all of y time. So nice to be able to put face to your wonderful stories of life and the Bible, Blessings to you and your family Amen.

Yes. I agree.
So many of you have written such beautiful words of faith.. God bless you all..
Revival....AMEN!
Today I saw the Pastor, Max Lucado.
Praise the LORD.
He has a child like approach to Christ.
Got to know through his writings.
Amen ! I tell the grandkids when it rains and clouds form ! It is not as it appears ! Above the clouds the sun shines ! Although things look bad and you think Jesus is not listening , He Is ! The Son Shines ! Be happy ! It rains violet's ! God has not turned His back ! He is preparing a new blessing for you ! Be happy ! Be joyful ! Have peace in Jesus ! Gods blessing upon all ! Wake up ! The tomb is empty ! Jesus is risen !
God you are good and your mercy is everlasting!
Grace for the Moment. Such a beautiful devotional for each morning. Thank you Jesus for Your life sir.

Grief Yes it does feel that way. Just as God the father was sad when is son had to be separated from Him, and we still do not recognize him.
I know pastor Max how to get through this... Matthew 3:17 John 3:16&17&18
I miss the freedom 🙌🌈
HE always does
Preach!!
I am grieving....since COVID-19 happened.
And you still believe in the lord. Tch
Grief is an unmet expectation.
Pray for our president and good leaders
Is thus the Max Lucado that wrote "In the eye of the Storm"?
Anne Graham Lotz " Jesus in me " nails the point of covid 19 . Its a forced Sabbath to draw near to God.

" Jesus in me " a book to get ( author - Anne Graham Lotz )
([:>o):::Psalms 75: 8:::
Oh speck time is a good time to go out side to take care of your business
Don't get me wrong, I DO believe, but I never, ever "hear" anything. No voices, internal or external. It's just silence. Frustrating.
Silence is always hard for us to deal with but that doesn't mean God does not hear our prayers. The answer always comes but not on our timeline. As i look back on my time when i couldn't here anything from God, i realize that he was helping me build patience and also testing me to see if i will give up . Please don't give up.
