From First Congregational Church of Berkeley, California:
O Source of Healing,
I place in your hands all people around the world who are sick with COVID.
I place in your hands all those caring for them: family and friends, nurses and doctors.
I place in your hands all those working on cures and treatments.
I place in your hands all those grieving losses from COVID-19, both people and time.
I place in your hands children and youth, parents and teachers.
I place in your hands all those suffering because of poverty, mental illness, other illness, and systemic oppression.
I place in your hands all of us who are weary.
Grant us each what we need. I ask you today for patience, courage, hope, and wisdom. (you can ask for your own)
You are with us, you are with us, you are with us.
We are not alone.
Amen.
