God, our Great Physician-
bless the healing front lines of our global
pandemic...
all those who work in medical and pharmaceutical care; all who care for elderly
nursing homes/hospice/group homes/mental health facilities; all those who work
and care for those in prison; we are grateful for their healing and caring
gifts!
bless the leading front lines of our global
pandemic...
elected officials and
government agencies, universities, school districts, faith community leaders;
business (small thru large) owners; we are grateful for their leadership in
difficult moments.
bless our first-responding front lines of our global
pandemic...
EMT's, law enforcement officers, and fire fighters; we are grateful for their
willingness to serve and protect.
bless all of us on the front lines of our disrupted
lives...
as every aspect of our lives is overturned by what we face.
YOUR
generosity, YOUR hope, YOUR light, YOUR kindness is shown, seen, and
demonstrated by so many already! We are grateful. We are thankful. We are
joyous, even in these turbulent, demanding times, in WHO you ARE, Mighty God!
O God in
Whom there is NO Darkness at ALL, grant us good humor; long standing patience
and kindness; inner resolve and strength; generosity which begets generosity;
and fresh opportunity to witness YOUR might in the face of
fear/disruption/unknown/anxiety.
This is a
precious moment in which we can HOLY PAUSE on all aspects of our lives and our
life together. Our season of Lent just got more real, which also means Easter's
hope is more real as well.
Let us not
waste this ripe opportunity to dig deeper into our inner faith and our
commitment to serve others.
This is YOUR
moment O God to witness YOUR people...doing no harm, doing good, and staying in
love with YOU!
Shine BRIGHT through us, we pray, as Jesus is - truly- the Light of the World. Amen.
