Prayer for the Nation - Tuesday

 

Continuing our lockdown month of Prayer for the Nation, on Tuesday we pray for the elderly, isolated and vulnerable.

We echo God’s commitment to those most at risk of this virus by praying today for those who are particularly vulnerable and isolated: 

praying for their deliverance, protection and comfort. 

We hold before God those who care for them – 

that they would be strengthened and encouraged in this work.

Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, in these dark and difficult days, we turn our hearts to you. 

In ages past, you have delivered our nation from disaster. 

Do it again, we pray. 

Give wisdom beyond human wisdom to our leaders, 

Give strength beyond human strength to the NHS and all our frontline workers. 

Give comfort beyond human comfort to the elderly and all who grieve. 

Lord Jesus Christ, in these dark and difficult days, turn your face towards us, have mercy upon us, and heal our land, we pray. 

Amen.
