Compassionate and Loving Father,
In the face of confusion and concern
impart to us the calm of your presence.
In You, allow us to find hope and healing.
Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.
Be with those who lead and give them
Your Spirit of wisdom.
Be with those who have fallen ill and give them
Your comforting heart.
Wrap your arms around our world
and hold us in your love.
Allow us at this time of trial, to then
serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.
We ask this in Your Name.
Amen.
