Prayer for Our Global Society

by Patricia Matthews

 

 

Dear Lord, help us to understand and handle the fact that this Pandemic is in your control.  
It's in your control to decide when and which of our Family members, Friends or Acquaintances to call to your ultimate Resting Place, as a result of COVID-19.  
It's in your control even if we are personally suffering, we have Family members suffering, we have friends suffering, or we have acquaintances suffering from COVID-19 or other illnesses.  
It's in your control even if we are experiencing the stress of COVID-19 or other illnesses:
 - because we are First Responders, 
 - because we are feeling lonely, 
 - because we are feeling helpless, 
 - because we are feeling anxieties of meeting our basic needs, 
 - because we are feeling socially deprived, 
 - because we are having to adjust to different ways of learning and interacting with others, 
 - because we are experiencing economic challenges, 
 - because we are having to depend more on our Faith to make it through the day, or 
 - because we are having to adjust to different ways of communicating with you, Dear Lord. 
No matter what we are experiencing, Dear Lord, please help us to remember All Things are in Your Control and our Faith in you will carry us through, not only NOW, but at ALL Times.
AMEN.
