Father God, our Most High Lord, holy and righteous is Your name. You are mighty in deeds and extravagant in Your love for us. Father we lift up all those affected by the pandemic – millions of people whose lives have been turned upside down. We think of those who have fallen ill – may they experience Your loving hand of healing. We think of the first-responders – may they experience Your hand of protection and strength. We think of those who have experienced career and financial changes – may they experience Your grace, mercy and provision. We think of the emotional and spiritual well-being of our communities and world – may everyone experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask that hearts and minds will be opened to You, that all may see Your glory and presence in the midst of these circumstances. Father we trust in You, that You have allowed this pandemic for a reason, and that You will be glorified and lifted up. What our enemy has meant for evil, may it be used for Your glory and praise. In the name of our Lord, Savior, and King, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, amen.
