A prayer for uncertain times
Prayer and Worship: March 2020
The Moderators of the General Assembly of the United Reformed Church (URC), the Revd Nigel Uden and Derek Estill, have offered the following prayer as the UK and the rest of the world come to terms with the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
'God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.' Psalm 46:1, NRSV
As so much is re-shaped by Coronavirus Covid 19, let us pray with
- people left unwell, beckoned by death or bereaved;
- people providing professional health care and advice, looking after loved ones at home or working to create treatments and cures;
- people shaping the response of nations and neighbourhoods, of commerce and industry, of service and voluntary organisations and of communities of faith;
- people who are anxious or afraid, alone or isolated.
Living, loving God,
we praise you,
and through times of peril we lean into you,
for in Jesus Christ
you have trodden paths as difficult as ours,
revealing there a love that nothing defeats,
a love that bears us through.
Even as we strive to behave responsibly,
and to care reliably,
so we feel after you
that in these uncertain times we might trust you are with us,
our refuge and strength,
and our faith, hope and love might be renewed,
through Jesus Christ, Amen.
