Our Father,

Thank you that although we’re in self isolation you are always standing close to us hearing every word we speak, knowing every anxious thought on our minds.

You say, ‘ Before they call I will answer;

While they are still speaking I will hear ’. 

And so, knowing you’re listening, we pray for healing for all those suffering from COVID-19 symptoms at home & especially those who are seriously ill in intensive care. Also for their families who long to visit but cannot.

You are the God of the impossible – please break the power of this virus to kill, debilitate & spread fear. 

Especially we lift to God today:

• Those in our church family suffering even greater anxiety because of underlying mental illness – comfort, peace & good sleep.

• Parents home schooling their children – ingenuity, patience & fun.

Thank you Lord,

Amen.
