Out of all the countless things we can and should pray for during this pandemic, what are the most important things? Jesus's prayer in John 17 reveals six priorities to guide our prayer life and keep us focused on what is most crucial at all times, and especially at fearful times like this.

Prayer is difficult for most of us. We don't always know what to say, and we wonder why our prayers aren't always answered in the way we hope they will be. But Jesus told His disciples that we shouldn't give up on prayer, even when it is hard. We worship a God who sees us, who loves us, and who listens to our prayers. Instead of succumbing to fear and anxiety, will we bring our requests to God and trust that He is listening?

If we love God deeply, we will care about the nations. God's kingdom extends far beyond America, because He is building a kingdom composed of men and women from every ethnic and racial group on the planet, a kingdom of people who speak different languages and come from different cultures. One day, we will all worship Him together around His throne. In the meanwhile, we have been commanded to participate in the task of making disciples among all of the nations. The Great Commission isn't an optional command. God has blessed us with eternal life so that we can share it with the world.

Outside of our relationship with Jesus, no relationship in life is as formative as the relationship between a parent and child. It begins before birth, experiences the greatest amount of change over one's life, and when we're in the roll of parent, demands more time and energy than any other relationship we'll ever experience. So how can we do better, both as children and as parents, in this all-important relationship?

We were made for relationships because we were made in the image of a relational God. And the first relationship God designed for us was marriage - one man and one woman becoming one together as they follow God and love one another. It's not always easy, but when oneness begins to grow, the world sees a beautiful representation of the Triune God - Father, Son and Spirit.

Moses was one of the the greatest leaders in history. He was wise, bold, godly, and humble. He led the nation of Israel out of slavery toward the land that God had promised them. But Jesus is even greater than Moses. Moses spoke for God, but Jesus is God. Moses was a great leader, but Jesus is a perfect King. Moses declared God's Law, but Jesus offered eternal life. This Christmas, take a moment to thank God for revealing Himself to us through Somebody even greater than Moses, his one and only Son Jesus Christ.

At the border of the Promised Land, the Israelites gave into fear and unbelief. The terrible consequence was that they forfeited their opportunity to experience the life that God wanted to give them. As we seek to follow God, we face a constant battle between trusting in Him or giving in to our fears. We can choose to focus on His power and His faithfulness, or we can choose to focus on everything that scares us. The choice is ultimately between a life of joy and impact in God's service, or a life of self-protection, a life that will never be all that God intends to give us.

Fear is a natural response to threatening, risk-filled situations. And as we follow Jesus, such situations are inevitable! We don't have a choice in the matter. However, we do choose whether or not we give in to our fears, or by faith learn to increasingly trust in the Lord. In other words, we get to choose where we focus our attention and energy - on the obstacles or on the opportunities. And we get to choose which voices we listen to - the voices of discouragement or the voice of our Redeemer who is all powerful.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "holy"? If you're like most people, you probably think of words like, "boring" and "self-righteous." The Bible tells us, though, that holiness is anything but boring, and it is definitely not self-righteous. Instead, holiness means that we are reserved for a special purpose, to know and to represent the character of God. Nothing could be more important, and nothing is more difficult to do! How can we be holy people when the world around us, and even our own hearts, are full of sin and rebellion?
