Great God, we humbly ask you keep the scourge of COVID away from us. We ask you to heal those suffering from it. Our entire world needs refuge from it. Please Lord, grant us some relief. We ask that you keep the blessings of your love close to our hearts and let us always remember the reason we celebrate, Jesus birth! Help us to proclaim that news to all corners of creation. Lastly, Lord, give us all your peace that passes all human understanding, and guard our hearts and minds that we may dwell deeply in you and you alone.
We love you, Lord! Amen!
