Here’s another new coronavirus prayer, to help support and encourage you during the continuing crisis.
Like a snowdrop shooting from frost-covered ground,
like a flower bursting from a bud,
like a chick hatching from an egg,
like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis,
like a frog transformed from a tadpole,
like a baby delivered from the womb,
so, Lord, may new beginnings inspire and encourage us,
rising like a phoenix from the ashes,
and turning our thoughts from dismay to delight,
fear to confidence,
doubt to faith
and despair to hope.
Though so much continues to trouble us,
assure us that change will come,
and that the future can still be bright.
Amen.
