I’ve not posted any coronavirus prayers for a while, but that doesn’t, of course, mean that the crisis has gone away. Far from it; it seems to be resurfacing again in many parts of Europe and the wider world, and pockets here in the UK remind us that the threat remains as real as ever, at least until an effective vaccine can be found. Here’s another prayer, then, in response to the situation, with a few more to follow over the next few days. They take as their starting point the measures we all must continue to take to ensure not just our safety but that of all.
As I put on this mask, Lord,
may your strength protect me,
your love enfold me,
your peace encircle me,
your light inspire me,
your power renew me,
your wisdom guide me,
your promises comfort me,
your truth fill me,
your grace transform me.
Come Lord,
and grant your blessing,
your help –
a lamp for our feet –
to me,
and to all.
Amen.
