For those struggling due to this crisis, and those seeking to help them

So many are worried, Lord. Calm their fears.

So many are hurting. Tend their wounds.

So many are grieving. Comfort them.

So many are lonely. Assure them of your presence.

So many are vulnerable. Protect them.

So many are struggling to make ends meet. Provide for them.

So many are despairing. Encourage them.

So many are sick. Heal them.

So many are seeking to bring help to those infected. Equip and enable them.

So many are looking to defeat this disease. Guide them.

So many are in need, Lord, and so many more soon will be.

Reach out to them in love, tenderness and mercy, and see them safely through. Amen

Nick Fawcett For Such a Time as This

 

May we never walk in solitude or fear, but the fellowship of the Spirit warm our hearts,

the love of the Saviour bring us joy and the shelter of the Father’s arms forever keep us safe. Amen

(Fragrant Offering: A Daily Prayer Cycle in the Celtic Tradition John Birch)

 

Celtic Daily Prayer

Christ as a light illumine and guide me.

Christ as a shield overshadow me.

Christ under me; Christ over me; Christ beside me on my left and my right.

This day be within and without me, lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

Be in the heart of each to whom I speak; in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.

This day be within and without me, lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

Christ as a light; Christ as a shield; Christ beside me on my left and my right.  Amen 

(Celtic Daily Prayer From the Northumbria Community)
