Lord, I wonder if this pandemic will ever end.
How long do we need to suffer it all?
How long more will you ask us to be patient?
But in the end, I know you are my refuge and my strength.
I trust in You.
Help me to hear your voice in all of this
and know that you will bring some good out of it all.
Amen.

We are suffering under the COVID epidemic.
Lord help us to take the time to be silent and prayerful
and know that you are with us.
Help us to be open to hearing what you are inviting us to.
We may feel that so much has been taken from us.
But when we do take the time we realize
that it is your faithfulness and generosity
that has given us so much.
It is what gives us the confidence
that you are indeed with us through it all.
Amen.

sharing your patience and endurance.
When we do we can be confident that we will share too
in the hope You promised to all who accept your love.
