We pray today for all those ill and suffering with the Corona Virus. We include their family and friends who worry about their loved ones, as well as their own safety. Also, we ask protection for the workers on the frontlines of caring for the ill and those providing for the needs of these selfless workers.

Lord, in Your great mercy look upon the sick and the dying, and heal them according to Your plan for their lives. Restore good health and a return a productive life, with as much normalcy as is possible right now. Place a wall of protection around their family and friends, that the virus does not spread throughout their household.

Grant strength and stamina in abundance to all healthcare workers and the support staffs that keep the hospitals, nursing homes and ambulances running safely and efficiently. Protect them as they minister to the ill, that they may be able to continue in their service to the communities.

We offer prayers of gratitude for the wonderful citizens who have stepped up during this crisis to provide for the needs of these frontline workers. We appreciate the efforts of those providing meals, sewing masks, making ventilators and protective wear. This list of helpers is too long to itemize Lord, and our hope is restored as we see countless people using their talents and resources to help in whatever manner they are able. More importantly, our hearts are lifted from the sadness of the dying, by their generosity. Your grace and mercy is evident daily as we witness Your love being spread to all the hurting. Please, keep the hearts of these faithful servants full of love and the desire to witness to the hurting world.

In all things, at all times, may our actions reflect our faith in You alone, as You provide for all our needs. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Ame
