Dear Lord God,
it was steady and predictable
to live in stability for a long time.
Now, there is much uncertainty
How long will this pandemic last?
In ages past, our ancestors also had
experiences of pandemic
We are not the only ones to know
this kind of illness and possible pending
suffering.
Faith teaches us that you will not abandon us Lord God.
So, we lean on your promise to stay with us
for all time.
Let us be sources of encouragement and support
for one another as brothers and sisters
as we face the changes and pandemic of our time.
With God, all things are possible.
May the God who gives us power and strength
grant us peace and solidarity
to live each day with goodness and grace
In Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
