New coronavirus prayer 46

Here’s another new coronavirus prayer, to help support and encourage you in these challenging times.

For the hope you give us, Lord –
hope that shapes not just our perspective on the future,
but every aspect of life now,
giving us cause to live each day,
each moment,
with confidence,
no matter what challenges may be thrown at us,
assured that however testing things may be,
they can yet change for the better –
thank you.

For faith, Lord –
the assurance that you are with us always,
come what may;
that sorrow and evil will not be allowed to have the last word;
that you unfailingly reach out to us,
even when it doesn’t seem like it;
that you are able to do more than we can ask or even imagine –
thank you.
For love, Lord –
the love that you extend to us day after day;
that seeks us out when we are lost;
that will never let us go; that nothing can ever separate us from,
whether on heaven or earth,
in life or in death –
thank you.

For everything that you are, Lord,
and will always be;
for everything that you give
and go on giving;
for all that you promise,
and unfailingly deliver upon;
receive our thanks,
our praise,
our worship.
Amen.
