Here’s another prayer that may help you to find words to articulate some of your thoughts and fears when you’re struggling to pray during these dark days of the coronavirus pandemic, and remind you that, however much it may feel like it, you are not alone.
Where are you, Lord?
Where are you?
Can’t you see the multitudes fretting,
trembling,
dreading –
fearful of what the future may hold?
Can’t you hear the pleas for help –
the cries,
the sobs,
the desperate appeals for guidance?
Can’t you see the crowded hospitals,
the struggling patients,
the tearful families and relatives?
Can’t you hear the groans,
the gasps for breath,
the anguish of the bereaved?
Where are you, Lord?
Where are you?
Hear us, we beg you.
Answer.
Show us you are here.
Amen.
