PRAYERS IN A TIME OF PANDEMIC










PRAYERS  IN  A  TIME

OF  PANDEMIC





HEALING  FROM  CORONAVIRUS


Source of healing,
Cast the light of health and well-being
On those who’ve been exposed 
to coronavirus,
Those who have contracted the disease,
And those - God forbid - who contract 
the disease in the future.
Bless them, protect them and bring them
 speedily to full recovery.
Bless all who are ill
With healing of body,
Healing of soul
And healing of spirit. 





TRAVELER'S  PRAYER  IN  A  TIME
  OF  PANDEMIC


May it be Your will,
Our God,
God of our fathers and mothers,
That we go in peace
And return in peace,
Safe from the ancient hazards of travel 
Enemies, thieves, ambushes and
 wild beasts 
And safe from modern perils 
Plane crashes and traffic wrecks,
Scammers and con artists,
Infectious disease and quarantine 
So that our travel serves it 
highest purpose,
And we reach our destination and 
return home
In joy, life and health.
Grant us grace in Your eyes
And in the eyes of all whom we meet.




A  PRAYER  FOR  MEDICAL
  SCIENTISTS


God of wisdom,
Bless medical scientists and researchers
 around the world
With insight and skill, dedication 
and fortitude,
As they combat coronavirus,
So that their work yields knowledge 
and understanding,
Speedily finding a vaccine, treatments
 and deterrents to its spread.

Source of life,
Grant public health and government
 officials
The strength to act swiftly and decisively,
With compassion and understanding,
In service to humankind,
Fighting this outbreak
And the other diseases that still
 plague the planet,
Diseases threatening the lives of our
 brothers and sisters,
Nations and communities,
Young and old.

Rock of Ages,
Bring an end to disease and suffering,
So that all may know
Your compassion and Your grace.




Prayers from the blog of Alden Solovy

Here are three new prayers,  as we face the unknowns and perils 
of coronavirus. One is for medical science. One is for safe travel.
 One is for healing. “Healing from Coronavirus” is for people who’ve 
contracted or have been exposed to the coronavirus,
 including those who might contract the disease in the future.
