Gracious God, as communities continue to plan the route forward as the next stage of the health situation enfolds, we take a moment to reflect upon those whose lives will be forever changed; those who are still mourning the loss of loved ones to Covid 19, those who live with the health issues the virus has left behind. So too, we remember those who are still unwell, either in hospital or at home. And of course we continue to pray for NHS workers who juggle with the demands of providing a health care system of which Covid is still a part. Lord God, pour out Your compassion, Your healing, Your understanding and Your love into our world. Please help us as a community to be sensitive to the needs of other, and do what we can to offer our spiritual and practical support. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
