A daily prayer during this COVID-19 crisis
During these difficult days, Drew Theological School in Madison, NJ, is sharing a daily prayer based on the Revised Common Lectionary for the week.
You are welcome to use these in worship or in your own devotions.
Today’s prayer
In this time of isolation, we pray for the deepest companionship. In this time of uncertainty, we pray for the glow of a better future. In this time of extinctions, we pray for life's renewal. In this time of injustice, we pray for great rectification. In this time of greed, we pray for the joy of the common good. In this time of futility, we pray for the courage to act. In this time of fake faith, we pray for a riskier honesty. In this time of lost faith, we pray for your unexpected guidance. In this time of lost ways, we pray to join each other on the Way. Which is You. After all. Before all. In all. Beyond all. Amen.
By Dr. Catherine Keller, George T. Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology
This prayer is certainly a prayer for our times. We need to remember that God is always there for us in good times and in bad. Prayer can be very calming to our souls.
