Coronavirus Covid-19, a Prayer
Like stormy raindrops of terror sowing panic and greed;
Like a dark and deadly cloud descending upon the planet
whose purpose is destruction; Like rising tides from all seven seas,
destined to destabilize the shores of nations; The coronavirus is seeking
a host for its own survival. It must be resisted and stopped in its tracks!
Dear Lord, we need an antidote. O Lord, we need a vaccine. The CDC
indicates that we are a year removed from having a cure to kill the Coronavirus. Lord, fear and trepidation have wrapped their hands around many nations of the world, stopping them in their tracks. We ask you to replace this fear with the antidote of hope, vision, and faith.
Lord, for your glory and not our goodness, may we live and not die to tell of your goodness and great mercies to this generation.
Lord, we pray that you will supernaturally expand the present intellectual capacity of the mind of mankind and expedite the cure for this epidemic; and may you grant YOUR WISDOM to those who are so faithfully laboring for a vaccine. We pray that the plague will be halted expeditiously and that mankind the world over will see and acknowledge your great mercies.
And O Lord God, we humbly bow to your bidding and appeal to your magnanimous grace even though we are not deserving of the least of your blessings. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
