 A Prayer to Combat the Coronavirus Pandemic


Most merciful and Triune God,

We come to you in our weakness.

We come to you in our fear.

We come to you with trust.

For you alone are our hope.


We place before you the disease present in our world.

We turn to you in our time of need.


Bring wisdom to doctors.

Give understanding to scientists.

Endow caregivers with compassion and generosity.

Bring healing to those who are ill.

Protect those who are most at risk.

Give comfort to those who have lost a loved one.

Welcome those who have died into your eternal home.


Stabilize our communities.

Unite us in our compassion.

Remove all fear from our hearts.

Fill us with confidence in your care.


Jesus, I trust in you.

Jesus, I trust in you.

Jesus, I trust in you.

Amen.
