A Prayer about God’s Healing Work

Great Physician,

It’s been just under a year

since America felt the first effects of the global pandemic: 

lockdowns and quarantines, masking and hand washing. 

Over 2 million people have died throughout the world 

from the dread COVID-19 virus; 

many continue to experience longterm effects. 

How grateful we are for the scientists and medical personnel 

who worked round the clock to develop vaccines 

that will ward off this grave illness.

How grateful we are for the tens of thousands

 of health care workers administering vaccines 

in all areas of the world. 

How grateful we are for the wisdom and expertise 

you have given us in this world to enjoy good health, 

to care well for the temple you created our bodies to be.

In your healing name we pray. Amen.

Read Psalm 30.
