We've heard a lot about how this Covid season we're in is 'unprecedented'. The head of the Pentecostal church UK said this week 'Unprecedented times call for unprecedented prayer'. They certainly do, and it's been wonderful to see God's people galvanized to pray more. Throughout March, April and May we ran COVID1900Prayer every day at 7 pm - check out our YouTube channel for our archive of all our daily prayer videos at cmf.li/YTbCOVIDprayer
This season also calls for an 'unprecedented response' in healthcare workers. Throughout this Spotlight edition on responding to Covid, we gain a glimpse of some of the personal responses you amazing nurses and midwives are giving. From midwife Beth in the Philippines to Adi and Chelsea in ITU to Simone training to work in the London Nightingale hospital and Hannah nursing in the community.
It may involve some risk - and John Greenall's article on the call to risk on page 21 is inspiring. It may involve working on a Covid ward, or it may involve working in another clinical area. It may involve lockdown at home. Wherever God has put us, it's about trying to be faithful to God there. Whatever our situation, it will definitely involve us daily having to put our trust in the Lord at this uncertain time, as Georgie encourages us to do on page 13.
I pray that through this edition, the Holy Spirit will work to help sustain, resource, refresh and inspire you in your own response to this 'unprecedented time.'
With every blessing,
Pippa
