​Dear God,
In this time of uncertainty and fear, help us be love, mercy, and peace for ourselves and for others as we face coronavirus in the United States and around the World.
 
Help us hold close in our hearts those who have died,
and their loved ones who mourn them,
Those who are sick or are trying to seek medical care.
Those who don’t have paid sick leave, benefits, or job security.
Those whose schools have closed
and don’t have access to food, safe homes, or technology.
Those who can’t travel to be with loved ones who are ill or dying.
Those who are facing discrimination and harassment because of ethnicity.
Those who are struggling with loneliness during this time of social isolation.
Those who are frightened and losing hope.
 
Help us find joy, however small it seems.
Help us remain hopeful.
Help us remember that “All shall be well, for there is a force moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go.”
Amen.
