Today Emma leads us in prayer for those in medical research, those caring for others in the hospitals and communities and for those who are lonely or anxious.

Healing God,
You knit each of us together in our mother’s womb, thank you for caring for each of us individually every day.

You are in every thought and action, in every scientific discovery and healing hand.
Thank you for all those who work in medical research, especially those searching for tests and cures for covid 19.  Be with them, inspire and sustain them in their work.

Thank you for the doctors, nurses and all those who care for others in the NHS and care system.  Keep them energised, uplifted and safe from harm in their essential work.

Thank you to all those who are in our communities ensuring essential services continue.

Thank you for the community spirit which has strengthened and grown as we realise the importance of love of our neighbours.

Give us energy, guide us to those in need and give us thankfulness in every blessing.

Loving God
Be with all those who are hurting, lonely, frightened or anxious.
Bring them peace and reassurance in every moment.

Everything that is good comes from you.
Amen.
