As a prompt, at this time while many of us are homebound take time to search out what amplifies your hope and discourages your fear. Create something that symbolizes your discovery.
It is my belief that this time is an ideal moment for creators to do some exceptional work. You have hope, joy, life, love within you, share it. Make a difference.

At this time of crisis, Lord, I am reminded You are in control. I ask that You spread your loving protection over all those in harm’s way. Jesus, please fill us with the spirit of love and hope and remove our doubt and fear.
Dear God, I am confident we are here only through your direction. Please guide us and grant us patience and understanding. Please be with those who lead us and give them wisdom and right motives. Only you can remedy this pandemic with minimal loss of health and life. I pray You will intervene.
Help us support one another with encouragement and inspiration. You, Lord, are He who has power over all and everything. Be near to us, for we have become needy and cannot resolve all the trouble that besets us.
You, God, are our fortress, rock, protector, strength, assurance, salvation, our home, creator, and future promise, hold us near Your heart that we may survive.
You know our needs, Jesus, please assist us with Your compassion and providence.
We are a world of many peoples all in Your hands. Dear Jesus, remember us and be our Way.

In times of disruption, distress, creativity can be a safety we exercise. A bit of visioneering fantasy visited earlier.
Living in the woods with trees, briars and brambles, pine straw and leaf ground cover, and wild creatures for the closest neighbors, it is sometimes surprising what one sees.
The peace and quiet are always surrounding here. In the Springtime, the songbirds return to fill the air with rousing melodies. Over recent days since the noise is reduced with us sequestered, the small sounds are magnified.
Walking around communing with nature, eyes wide open, ears alert, a heart seeking peace, there are times when the world becomes fascinating.
Stopping to look at a wildflower, the quiet broken by the clip of hooves touching the earth is rare here, indeed, but miracles happen when we can believe. A flash of white, bright as lightning, glimpsed as a creature mythical, came closer like a reassuring dream. Breath consumed by the beauty of his appearance, feet between, not daring to touch, but only observing.
Eyes meet in a time beyond time, great love and compassion are translated through his gaze. His horn shining golden bright, he nods his head.
Whispered, “Will all this be alright? Is there reason to hope?”
His head nods again, then he shifts, so his mane falls like a waterfall.
“There is so much pain, fear.”
He shakes his head, then lowers it and closes his eyes.
“Prayer. The world needs prayer.”
He opens his luminous eyes and nods. He lifts his head high, nickers, and turns. As he drew away all the fears, panic, worries seemed to fade. He looked over his shoulder with a nod, and then raced away. The peace and love exuded during his visit sent doubt flying like the trail of his tail as he disappeared out of sight.

I am a great admirer of unicorns. I draw them at times. This time, well, writing seemed correct.
I always have a grateful heart, but tonight I want to share some things for which I thank the Lord.
During this time, when there are significant disruptions for many, a lot is typical for me. I did have to spend more than I was prepared to on groceries, pet food, fuel, and seeing things all in disorder upset me. The thing is we are good now.
I just hope everyone else is safe and okay. I really love all of you, and I want everything to be alright. If you have someone near, give them a hug, or tell someone you love them. Everyone needs love in times like these.
As a prompt, write down a few things you are thankful your life is blessed with today.
