Hope and Prayer in the Time of a Pandemic

To provide extra support to the employees and volunteers of my hospice, the Spiritual Counselors are leading a brief call each morning. During the call, we have time for talking together and checking in, an inspirational thought or quote, and a prayer. I led our call last week and share the following.

I read the first two verses of “Hymn of Promise” which you can enjoy here. And then I offered this prayer.

Prayer-In this time of great uncertainty, we are reaching out to you, Holy One. Hear us as we ask for wisdom when life does not make sense. Hear us as we cry out when our hearts are breaking. Hear us when we laugh with pure joy at the beauty of life. As we keep physically distant from each other, do not be distant from us, Loving One, as we were built for connections. Bless us as we do our work this day and remind us that we are never alone. Amen.

My hope is that these words bring you peace on your journey today!
