Prayer for those affected by the Coronavirus . . .




For those who are sick
 and those who care for them,
 that they might be restored to health
 and receive all that they need this day:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


 For those who have died
 and those who mourn,
 that they might know consolation:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For nurses and doctors,
 and all who work in hospitals and medical care,
 that they might be sustained with energy for their work,
 and might have all that they need for good patient care:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For public health experts,
 for scientists and bioengineers
 working to understand the virus and to find treatment and prevention
 that they might have insight and success:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For the World Health Organisation,
 for government officials,
 that policy and practice might be wise and effective:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For those in quarantine,
 that their spirits might be sustained,
 and for those separated from people they love
 by the circumstances of this illness:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For those who are afraid,
 that they might know peace:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For those who are being harassed or persecuted
 as racism is expressed around this illness,
 that they might be protected:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


For those whose sin of racism clouds their eyes, minds and hearts,
 that they might repent and love their neighbour:
Gracious God, receive our prayer.


Gracious God, receive our prayers,
 those made with these words
 and those made in the murmurs of our hearts.
 In Christ’s name we pray.
 Amen.
