A daily prayer during this COVID-19 crisis



During these difficult days, Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar and the members of the Extended Cabinet are 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 our wilderness wandering, so often our eyes are kept from recognizing you. 
Instead we focus on our fear, our sadness, our grief … 
because our screens are filled with dire predictions, heart-breaking stories, and death tolls. 
You try to remind us that we’ve been here before … 
That you were there and still are here … 
You try to feed us with bread that sustains … 
But we don’t see it, or it is too fleeting … 
There are signs of the Rising … people making face masks, health care heroes, first-breaths after days on ventilators, extravagant generosity, shared art, spring’s burst of new life … 
Keep appearing, Risen One … don’t stop walking beside us and urging us to follow you toward life … 
to remember,  
to smile,  
to eat,  
to embrace your hope,  
to see you, 
and join with you as your Easter people. 
 
 
By Rev. Erica Robinson-Johnson, Director of Connectional Ministries/Assistant to the Bishop
Scripture: Luke 24:13-35
