A PRAYER FOR OUR TIME
Caring Father, just as you share our human joys, you share our fears. Your world - our world - is facing challenges few have experienced before. Regardless of class, faith, colour, income, or personal need, suddenly our world is for the first time united in uncertainty, and for many of us, fear. But we are also united in our resolve to defeat this new, common, unseen enemy. Everything we thought we knew about our world has been changed and no-one can be untouched by these unfolding events. May we find inspiration, encouragement and comfort from the kindness of strangers, the steadfast love of our families and, for those of us who have faith, the assurance of your unceasing care. For those who are sick, restore health. For those who are frightened, bring calm. For those who are confused, bring clarity. For those who are lonely, bring companionship. For those who are exhausted or overwhelmed, in body or spirit bring peace and restoration. Father, remember us as we start each day, unsure of what lays ahead. Calm our fears and our imaginations and - when we reach out to you – may every one of us find your hand and experience your presence in our lives so that at the end of the day we will be reassured that you have never once left our side. This we ask in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour and our solace. Amen. Keep us safe in these difficult times. |
