I wanted to give a fresh take on the TP issue.
Think Praise—We can use this time to focus on the praise our God so richly deserves. Billy Graham made it a practice to read 5 Psalms and 1 chapter of Proverbs each day of the month. Reading the psalms always flexes my praise muscles! Lord Jesus Christ we thank You that You care for each one of us and You are in control!
Trust Promises—Our God will not leave us for a single second in this time, Hebrews 13:5. He is with us and we can use this time to share precious promises from His word with those around us, neighbours, etc., as we email them or call them to chat. Spending time searching the word for His promises is a worthwhile use of extra time you have now. Thank You, Lord, for Your many wonderful promises which we know You will not fail to keep in Your perfect timing.
Thoughtfully Pray—There is much to pray for right now. We always have this amazing privilege of being part of God’s work by praying and now it is more crucial than ever. So many people have no hope in this situation and we can be constant in prayer so when opportunities arise to witness for His glory, we are ready with our “speech always with grace, seasoned with salt, that [we] may know how [we] ought to answer each one,” Colossians 4:6. Father in heaven, gives us Your words to speak to a hurting world. Help us to be lights for You in these days.
May you be encouraged in Him and by Him today. I leave you with the words of Psalm 93.
The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
The Lord is clothed,
He has girded Himself with strength.
Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting. 3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.
4 The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea. 5 Your testimonies are very sure;
Holiness adorns Your house,
O Lord, forever.
