WAYS YOU CAN HELP

Volunteer

One of the most valuable gifts you can give is your time. We’re in need of volunteers for three important roles:

Callers

Chat on the phone with people who have been affected by the virus, give them encouragement, and learn what kind of supplies they need.

Deliverers

Deliver resources to the doorsteps of individuals and families in the community.

Donate

You can quickly and easily give financially to support Franklin Height’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.

Pray

Prayer is a powerful tool that God has given us to seek peace, wisdom, and courage in the face of fear and confusion. Here are some  ideas for  prayers you can pray today and throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

Pray Against Fear

All Powerful One, you spoke the universe into existence. You laid the earth’s foundation. Because of you, Lord, the sun rises and the sun sets each day.

You are in control over all things.  You  are  my  comfort.  I  pray  that  your perfect peace, which is beyond understanding, overcomes all fear  in  this  time of uncertainty. Jesus, there is power in your name, so I confidently declare victory over worry, doubt, and anxiety. I look to you and  you  alone  as  my source of hope. Amen.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13, ESV)

 

Pray for the Sick and Vulnerable

Mighty God, you are more powerful than any pandemic. There is no virus, no sickness, and no pain that you cannot overcome. You are our Healer and Protector. Jesus, we know through your  Holy  Spirit  you  have  given  sight  to the blind, made the paralyzed walk, healed the sick, and resurrected the dead. You have conquered the grave. So Lord, it is with bold faith that I pray for miraculous healing and protection over all who  have  contracted  COVID -19 and those who are most susceptible to infection. Father, even  w hen  it  is difficult to make sense of  the  current  circumstances  our  world  faces,  I  will put my trust in you and praise your name. Amen.

“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.” (Jeremiah 17:14, ESV)

 

Pray for Those Who Are Searching for Answers or Seeking God

Heavenly Father, you work all things for  good.  You  do  not  waste a  single pain or sorrow. Your light outshines the darkness of disease. Lord, in  times  of trouble, people fall to their knees looking for  answers.  Empty  and  broken hearts are searching for you right now. Reveal yourself, Lord. I pray that your glory and your goodness would be put on display for the world to  see  in  the midst of this global health crisis so that more people will come to kn ow Jesus. Amen.

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6, ESV)

 

Pray for Public Health Officials, Governments, and Healthcare Workers

Holy Spirit, you are the One who gives us strength and knowledge. Lord, you guide the hearts and the minds of your children. You uniquely position people according to the gifts and abilities you give them. I pray that you point public health officials to a vaccine for COVID-19, guide government officials around the world as they make tough decisions, and help healthcare workers as they tend to the sick. God, I  pray  that  those  who  are  leading  the  charge  against this pandemic would look to  you  for  direction.  Bless  and  protect  them, Father. Amen.

“First of all, then, I urge that supplicate
