‘Jesus said:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled,
and do not let them be afraid. – John 14 verse 27’

We share this prayer from Red Letter Christians UK:
‘May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have not risk factors remember the most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those that have no safe space to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the turmoil of economic market remember those who have not margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our Neighbours. Amen’
