Almighty God Who has cared and protected your people in every generation We offer our prayer to you today for this country and our leaders for everyone who has to make difficult decisions about the health and well-being of this nation. We pray for everyone affected by Covid-19; for all those who are sick and those who care for them; for all those in hospital; for medical staff, carers, researchers, for our emergency services. We pray for our local community, for all those who protect us and keep us safe. We give thanks for all those who support, serve and feed us in these difficult times. Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress. Loving Lord, you taught us to love our neighbour, and to care for those in need as if we were caring for you. In this time of anxiety, give us strength to comfort the fearful, to tend the sick, and to assure the isolated of our love, and your love, for your name’s sake. Amen.
