Leaders in the government, educational, medical, business and churches do not have the experience or expertise to know how to respond to the various issues related to this crisis. But we can have peace that in the midst of these troubled waters, that Christ is the Captain of our ship (particularly our fellowship). And the Bible promises that when we go through trials like this, that if we ask God for wisdom, He will give it to us generously (see James 1:2-8). So let's pray that government, education, medical, business and church leaders will humble themselves and seek God's wisdom to address
