Need A Covid Prayer in 2023?



Oh Lord

Remind me to
Smile

Because by
Your divine grace

In the face of
Covid and
All it embraces

I'm still alive
A privilege denied

To many 

Who have
Suddenly died

Remind me
I've so much more to give 

As I still live

And with your bright 
White stars 
Lighting my way

At night

To show me the beauty
Of doing my spiritual duty

To light a candle of hope 
In someone

As they repent
To ascend

As they cope

To wipe their tears away 
Today

And to make your love grow stronger

Longer
Everyday

To undo old wrongs

It's why I kneel to pray
And whisper

You'll come
Visit and stay

Amen
