COVID-19 Prayer

Gracious and Compassionate God,Heal our world from the devastating impact

of the COVID-19 pandemic.Direct the minds of the medical fraternity

and all who are tirelessly working for a cure.

Strengthen those that selflessly provide care and assistance to the destitute and ill.

Give PEACE to the anxious and worried; VISION to those who have lost faith;ASSURANCE of your love and power

to those who fear the future.We pray this in the name of Jesus, our Lord,

the risen Christ. Amen
