Here’s another prayer – featured now in my free e-book For Such a Time as This – 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, reminding you that, however much it may feel like it, you are not alone.
Hold on to us, Lord
Hold on to us, Lord,
through this troubled time.
Where there is sickness,
may there also be health.
Where there are tears,
may there also be laughter.
Where there is despair,
may there also be hope.
Where there is fear,
may there also be trust.
Where there is hardship,
may there also be help.
Where there is doubt,
may there also be faith.
Where there is weakness,
may there also be strength.
Where there is defeat,
may there also be victory.
Where there is chaos,
may there also be calm.
Where there are problems,
may there also be solutions.
Where there is distancing in body,
may there also be a coming together in spirit.
Where there is death,
may there also be life.
Come, Lord, and work your miracle of love,
out of darkness bringing light.
Amen.
