I could be completely wrong about this, but after re-learning about themes in writing, I see these following themes in Psalm 41: Disease, Betrayal, and Deception.

Do any of these seem familiar to you?

I feel reciting this Psalm daily over the entire world is worth a try. I usually begin by saying something like, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I say to You, Father God, this Psalm over my [loved ones] and myself. Amen." and then recite the Psalm(s). I encourage you all to recite this Psalm and even provide others that can certainly help with this crisis. I am still new to how the Book of Psalms works. To my understanding, they are a mixture of worship songs, prayers, prophecies, all in God's Own Holy Word.

I understand vaccines are on the way but there is much skepticism going on. This is where God's grace will have to come in.

1 Blessed is he who considers the poor;
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;
You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will sustain him on his sickbed.

4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt.
8 “An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
9 Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And set me before Your face forever.

13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

~Psalm 41 (NKJV)
