Pray Daily – May 2020

Throughout May

Prayer to help carry us through the challenges of COVID-19 this month:

Ever present God,
be with us in our isolation,
be close to us in our distancing,
be healing in our sickness,
be light in our darkness,
be wisdom in our confusion,
be all that is familiar when all is unfamiliar,
that when the doors reopen
we may, with the zeal of Pentecost
inhabit our communities
and speak of your goodness
to an emerging world.

For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
