​Prayer for a Pandemic
– Author Unknown (edited)
​
Lord,
May we who are merely inconvenienced
Remember those whose lives are at stake.
May those of us who have no risk factors
Remember those who are most vulnerable.
May those who have the luxury of working from home
Respect and support those who must choose between
Preserving their health and paying their rent.
May we who have flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
Remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
Remember those who have no place to go.
May we who are losing our investments
Remember those who have no money to invest.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
Remember those who have no home.
During this time when we cannot wrap our arms around each other physically,
Help us each to find ways to be your loving embrace to our neighbours.
Amen
Psalm 23 for busy people
