Ugandans join in prayer as coronavirus cases continue to rise across the globe.

President Y. K Museveni together with a coalition of Christians across denominational lines are uniting to pray for an end to the coronavirus pandemic at the State House in Entebbe on Saturday.

As the Holy Spirit guides you, we ask that you join us, and other Christians who are in prayer, and decree that the coronavirus will cease worldwide, and that God will heal all who are currently affected by it.

7 Prayer tips

1. Pray Psalm 91 over your families and nations. “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

2. Pray against fear, knowing that God has not given us a spirit of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

3. Pray for wisdom for our leaders and protection for the emergency responders while protecting their people and preventing the spread of the virus.

4. Pray for Christians to have courage and share the Word effectively through this time of crisis.

5. Prophetic voices around the world have predicted the coming of the next great awakening on a worldwide scale. Pray that the forces of evil don’t use this to disrupt the coming awakenings. John 10:10 tells us, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

6. Pray that God will cease the coronavirus worldwide and that He will heal everyone who is currently affected by it.

7. Devote yourselves, your families, and your nation to God through the taking of communion and remember Passover.  1 Corinthians 10:14-17 explains, “Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.”
