Prayer
in the time of Coronavirus |
God
of love, God of grace, God of surprises,
We
are grateful for the moments of love and community we share.
We
know you are with us. We know the promise we have in you.
Yet we live with our hurt in the present and uncertainty in the
time ahead,
and wonder what the future holds for us and our communities.
We
pour out our hearts and souls to you
… and pray:
for
your world, your peoples and all who inhabit the face of the
earth;
for
those who are grieving for loss of loved ones,
for those who fear for their safety,
for those who feel most isolated and alone;
for
those who give of themselves to support others:
health care workers, cleaners, teachers, truck drivers and
delivery personnel,
pharmacists, grocery sales assistants, phone counsellors,
personal care assistants, those who prepare meals for emergency
food relief
…
bring your comfort, hope, strength, and healing love.
We
pray for our communities of faith,
that we may be beacons of hopefulness, of promise, of peace with
each other,
and of inclusive love for neighbour.
We pray in the hope we know in Jesus,
in
whom we see and know the fullness of the grace and love of God.
Amen.
