Corona-Virus: Join Christians around the world in prayer



Large parts of the world have been affected by the Corona-virus. Each day the situation is becoming more and more serious day by day and the measures are affecting more and more people directly. As Christians, we are not immune to all of the suffering and uncertainty that this situation is bringing. But we don't have to be guided by uncertainty. We can trust that God is also our Lord in this situation.

Christians don't have to panic. After all, we live for Christ, who enables us to stay sober and to look carefully for what is best for others. Each time we are tempted to give in to our fear, we can make a conscious choice to respond in confidence and openness.

And we have hope - for ourselves and hope to pass on. Just like the corona at a solar eclipse, the light is never completely gone. In fact, the light is stronger than the darkness. Especially now, in dark times, we can show our hope to the people around us. First of all by our attitude. But also by addressing the practical needs of the people around us.

Christians in many countries are organizing a Day of (National) Prayer. In some countries, have nation-wide initiatives, in other areas, there are local initiatives. We believe that prayer helps us to surrender our anxiety and worries to God, to bless others, and to ask God to show us His intentions in difficult circumstances.

At ChristianDance.eu we would like to support such initiatives, to connect as many Christians across the globe as possible to initiatives that enable "virtual" prayer via the internet and social media.

Please let us know of any initiatives that you are aware of, and we will post the details on our Prayer-page. You can contact us through our webform (in English).

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
