A Prayer for Those Suffering from the Coronavirus

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night
nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Of the plague that stalks in the darkness,
nor of the sickness that lays waste
at mid-day. Ps 91:5-6

Merciful God, hear our fervent prayer for all who suffer from the coronavirus.
May those who are infected receive the proper treatment
and the comfort of your healing presence.
May their caregivers, families and neighbors be shielded
from the onslaught of the virus.
Give solace to those who grieve the loss of loved ones.
Protect and guide those who strive to find a cure,
that their work may conquer the disease and restore communities to wholeness and
health.
Help us to rise above fear.
We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.
Amen.
