We are lifting up Celena in prayer, asking our loving heavenly Father to extend His healing hand upon her. We stand in faith, knowing that God is able to heal and protect her from this influenza, even as she is overseas and in isolation.
Let us remember the words of the Psalmist, For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.(Psalm 16:10-11 WEB)
We pray for Celena's swift recovery. In Jesus' name. We are also moved to pray for her spiritual health, that this trial may draw her closer to God. May she turn to Him in faith in this time of need.
Since Celena is overseas and in isolation, we also pray for her emotional and mental well-being. May God grant her His peace. He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.(Psalm 46:1 WEB)
We also take this opportunity to remind everyone that God desires that we come to Him in prayer. Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and difficult things, which you do not know.(Jeremiah 33:3 WEB)
Finally, if Celena is not already a believer in Jesus Christ. This is an important opportunity to discuss the basic salvation message.
We know that Jesus is the ultimate physician. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.(Romans 5:6-10 WEB)
For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.(Romans 10:13 WEB)
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.(2 Timothy 3:15 WEB)
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!(Acts 4:12 WEB)
