Prayer

God of Boundless Love and Energy, we need you in these days.  As we fear, grieve, doubt, and worry, we are confronted again with our human limitations.  Though made in your image, we sorely lack what is needed to bring us through this pandemic with healthy bodies, healthy relationships, and healthy souls.  Do not stand out of reach, but draw close.  Hold us in your protection.  Grant us, we pray, rest, unexpected laughter, patience, and courage for what lays ahead.  Amen!​
