Here’s another prayer in response to the continuing coronavirus crisis, this one inspired by the experience of twice having a Covid test before going into hospital.
Lord God,
as I undergo this Covid test,
examine also my words,
my deeds,
my thoughts,
my heart,
my mind,
my soul,
my living,
my loving.
Search deep within my being,
and put a right spirit within me.
Test me,
and wherever I fall short, make me new.
Help me to see the places where my life is lacking,
my faith weak,
my commitment deficient,
and through the power of the Father,
the love of the Son
and the presence of the Spirit
breathe health into my discipleship,
transforming me into the person you would have me be.
Amen.
