Devoting themselves to prayer, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers and sisters.
Acts 1:1-14
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers and sisters.
Max Lucado spoke of his book, "Unshakable Hope", standing on God's Promises and that was excellent. Max Lucado truly pointed out, all have a core belief and our faith in God's 7,000 Promises makes us stand strong every day. 51% say their lives before Pandemic were riddled with anxiety. And now have passed this level of anxiety.
Matt and Laurie Crouch said we all can encourage each other in our words. To Edify is encouragement and is Scripture. Seasons of trouble pass. Finding our faith and endurance will help our lives be faith overcoming fear.
Psalm 33:22
May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

We all should be encouraged with Dr. Redfield's Home Studies. The virus has a defect. If a household of four has someone with active Covid-19, with 6 feet distancing and a mask, hand sanitizing, there is a 75% chance the household will see the virus stop with the virus patient. The household I saw put the patient in a bedroom, with an ironing board set up at the door. The Father's food, drink, medicine were placed on the ironing board. The Mother masked to speak from the doorway, while the Father rested on the bed. He would retrieve the food items after she left. The household did not get Covid-19.
We were speaking with a Restaurant Manager, and he said we have seen 800 really great people supporting them during re-opening and with social distancing and wearing a mask, hand sanitizing - the manager does not have Covid-19. They serve a lot on the large patios.
Father God told us to look to the Fig leaves to see the story. We can follow the situation and Believe this virus will end. The news was good today on the vaccine. We do have Good News.
