We pray that you walk with families and loved ones as they pass through this valley of the shadow of death. Hold us in the silent moments that come as we remember the loss that we have suffered. Be present as we sit in the pools our tears have created. We pray for those among us who are grieving and mourning. We pray for those who are watching from afar as loved ones transition into everlasting life, many alone and unable to care for themselves. Families that are isolated from each other, distanced as loved ones struggle through the pains and illnesses. We pray for the many families who are suffering in these days. The earth groans, the trees weep, and we know, O God, that you know the depths of our grief and pain. We come heartbroken and overwhelmed as we witness and experience the increasing number of individuals dying from COVID-19. Holy God, creator of all, we are in your presence in need of your care, your healing, and your comfort. Global Ministries will be sharing prayers for the world in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic written by mission co-workers and Global Ministries staff each week.Д«y Karen Georgia Thompson, Co-Executive of Global Ministries and Associate General Minister of Wider Church Ministries and Operations, UCC By Global Ministries (Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ) |
