Prayer

Let's continue to look after one another

God of our healthy fears

God of our courage and faith 

There is a strengthening pull wanting to carry us back to what they call normal

But there is also cautious resistance and a reluctance to embrace all that was.

Help us in this in-between. 

As we venture out and relax restrictions or adhere to those put in place to protect us

As frustrating as these may be. 

May we not forget the dangers

Nor lose sight of what we have gained in a time of self imposed limitation. 

Strengthen our patience to let this play out

And may the lessons we carry help us pull through.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen
