Gracious God, we lift before you this morning, all those affected by the sad events unfolding in our care homes. We pray for families grieving the loss of loved ones. We pray especially for all staff committed to caring for others in such difficult circumstances and we give thanks for their compassion and selfless giving. We pray too for all those lovingly caring for others in their homes, be they family members or professional carers. We pray for an outpouring of Your love wherever people reside, a love that brings strength and courage and assurance to those who need it most this day. And so too Lord, we ask that you will be with each and everyone of us throughout this day, and may we too feel the peace of your presence in our hearts, Amen.
