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.
Show us that you are here, Lord
Show us that you are here, Lord;
that you have not abandoned us to our fate.
Show that you are not blind to our needs
or deaf to our entreaties.
Show us that,
though everything seems to suggest otherwise,
you are with us in this crisis we are facing –
that we are not alone.
Show us, above all, that we matter to you;
that you care about what so many are going through;
that you are hurting with us,
weeping with us
and reaching out to us,
seeking to help,
to hold
and to heal.
Amen.
