A Prayer For Uncertain Times
A Prayer For Uncertain Times
God of infinite mercy, hear our prayer!
In this time of bewilderment and fear, we ask
you to give us the courage to take care of one another as Jesus did. For those
who are ill, especially those who are frightened and alone, for those who
cannot access healthcare, for those who are homeless and lost, hear our
prayer!
In the midst of our sadness and grief, we ask
you to give us words to comfort one another. For those who are dying, and for
those who have already died from this virus, for those who tend them and for
those with no one to tend them, hear our prayer!
In the midst of our own anxiety we ask you to
give us the courage to support one another as you would. For those who are
unexpectedly unemployed, for employers who share what they can, for our
government and financial institutions and those who lead them, hear our prayer!
In the midst of our struggle to ensure a
healthy future for all who live on this planet, we ask you to give us the hope
that surpasses our current understanding. For healthcare workers, spiritual
leaders and our faith communities, for artists and poets, for prophets and
teachers, hear our prayer!
In the midst of our growing awareness that all
life on Earth is connected, we ask for the heart to respect and cherish all
life. That all peoples recognize that we are all your children, hear our
prayer!
We trust in you and your power working in us.
Please hear and answer our prayers.
Amen!
