April Prayer for Students
“The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;” Psalm 34:19 (NIV)
We thank you, Lord, that You are the ever-present help in times of trouble. We trust that any issues that may arise in the remainder of this school year, You will take care of them. You are the kids’ refuge and strong tower. We depend on you to protect their hearts and minds as they approach the ending of their year. Keep them safe and focused on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Encouragement
Maybe you’ve heard how salvation is like a total solar eclipse: God doesn’t see our sins because Jesus’ holiness covers them completely. Or maybe you’ve heard how trials can cause an “eclipse of faith.”
At WorldChallenge.org, Pastor Gary Wilkerson explains that in Greek, eclipse means “I am absent” or “I cease to exist,” because people once thought the gods temporarily extinguished the sun. “For Christians, a ‘spiritual eclipse’ is a dark hour when God seems to be absent from our lives,” Wilkerson writes.
Wilkerson points to Peter being sifted like wheat, Elijah and Jeremiah facing extreme discouragement, and David collapsing morally. Amid Satan’s attacks, “God seems completely absent,” writes the pastor. “In that dark moment of eclipse, the devil has created such chaos we can’t possibly see a way out.” During times of testing, Christians must cry out to God and trust his faithfulness.
Completing the eclipse analogy, Wilkerson shares Titus 3:4, the “love of God our Savior appeared” (NIV). The Greek meaning of appeared here is superimposed, he writes. God looks on our fraught-filled times of eclipse and “superimposes his divine love over us.”
