Monday, May 31: Scripture – Isaiah 40:1-2

1 Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.
 
Prayer Focus: As we were wondering about a theme for summer preaching, worship, and daily devotions, we found ourselves thinking about hope and particularly the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah. This is a hope-filled time for the church. Decreasing case numbers and availability of vaccines give hope for a return to “normal.” Efforts at justice and understanding are bearing fruit. Generosity and thanksgiving marked our stewardship efforts this year. Renovations are well underway on the Historic Sanctuary. And yet, we are not at the promised land yet. Caution, understanding, compassion, and patience are still in order. As we enter this summer series, “A Word of Hope,” I pray that we will hear words of comfort; speak tenderly to one another; and we trust in the Lord who speaks to us today.
