Thank you, God, for healing our land. Even in this affliction, you are good. You are trustworthy. Save the ones whose time has not come yet, Lord. Protect children, dear Jesus. Keep their immune systems strong. Help those around vulnerable individuals to be ever so careful. Keep your church strong, Lord. Let this strengthen our faith. Help us to hold onto you tighter. Help us to keep the fellowship in the ways we can. Keep us emotionally healthy enough to keep in touch.

Lift up our faces to you. Remind us of your faithfulness. Bring people to know you more than ever, Jesus. Let us see you through this. We grieve for those passing away who don't know you, Jesus. Comfort your people. Graft in those who will be yours, Lord, all over the world. Give dreams, visions and miracles to all people, everywhere. Show yourself, Lord.

Protect your earth, God. Cover your creation. Thank you for your promise. Thank you for your Word. Gather us. Humble us and bring us to repentance. Let this bring fruitfulness. Turn this all for good, God. Gracious Lord, you are not done with us yet. Thank you for bringing victory in all of this. Thank you most of all for loving us in the first place and letting us have a relationship with you. Thank you for giving your son on the cross for us. Thank you for forgiving us for our sin. Thank you for making a place for us. Thank you for coming soon! In Jesus' name, Amen!
