A daily prayer during this COVID-19 crisis

Today’s prayer

​A Simple Prayer of Hope inspired by Psalm 124
Holy God,
We know from the old sung prayers that “Our help is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.”  
Thank you for your love that we can cling to through this most challenging time.  
When things become overwhelming, we can forget that you love us unconditionally and are there for us in every moment of the day. Thank you for being with us.
Help us to accept this love and try to replace our pain with that love. Guide us to make your love real for others.
We will always remember “Our help is in the name of the LORD, maker of heaven and earth.”  
Amen.
