A spiritual comment and prayer to begin the day with Tobi Olujinmi, Founder of WTALK Network, the Entertainment & Faith Network for Women

Good morning

As I watched the news last week and saw regional lockdowns put in place, I was gripped with fear. I had a few loved ones who really struggled with the period of National lockdown and I was worried for them. I was worried for the uncertainty that any possible second wave could bring. I turned to my husband and said; I鈥檓 not sure we can handle a second wave. I鈥檓 not sure if my friend can handle a second wave. Before my husband could answer; my son did. He said, mummy, everything is going to be alright.

The heart of little children amazes me; their resilience and optimism. Their ability to bounce back and to trust again.. They have fantastic imaginations, theybelieve in superheroes and fairy-tales - my son thinks that Spiderman is real and he really is Peter Parker. Although he鈥檚 a child it鈥檚 a great perspective, and a sure way of remaining hopeful.

I鈥檓 sure there are many across the UK who are also concerned about a second wave, but perhaps we can borrow from my son鈥檚 optimism. This will help us daily, to keep the cobwebs of fear at bay.

Father, we bring before you those who are afraid of a second wave and the impact it could have on the economy, mental health and loved ones.
We pray that you will help us to surrender what we cannot control, and fill us with an assurance that you are in control. You promise us that all things work together for good for those who love you. Father in our times of fear, please remind our hearts of this promise.

Amen
