Prayers

A Prayer for those affected by Corona virus:

God of healing and hope, in Jesus you meet us in our places of pain and fear.  

Look with mercy on those who have contracted the new virus, on any who are vulnerable, and on all who feel in danger. Through this time of global concern, by your Holy Spirit bring out the best not the worst in us. Make us more aware of our interdependence on each other, and of the strength that comes from being one body in you.  

Through Christ our wounded healer. Amen.

(Revd. Dr. Sam Wells)

My Lighthouse

I won't fear what tomorrow brings

With each morning I'll rise and sing 

My God's love will lead me through 

You are the peace in my troubled sea

You are the peace in my troubled sea

My lighthouse, my lighthouse

Shining in the darkness, I will follow

You

My lighthouse, my lighthouse

I will trust the promise

You will carry me safe to shore.

A Prayer for Hospital Staff and Medical Researchers

Gracious God, give skill, sympathy

and resilience to all who are caring

for the sick, and your wisdom to

those searching for a cure.

Strengthen them with your Spirit,

that through their work many will be

restored to health;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
