Patient and Redeeming God, help us when our anxiety and fear make us deaf.  We get so afraid that we lock up and are unable to listen to reason or one another.  May we move to a point of calm to where we can hear your voice of love in those with whom we interact.  May our ownContinue reading “Prayer for September 3, 2021”

We ask for your healing grace to fill us O God.  There are many people who are dealing with illnesses and treatments other than COVID that are again being postponed because of how full our hospitals are and they may be at greater risk of infection because of the pandemic.  Be with them and those who careContinue reading “Prayer for September 2, 2021”
