A Prayer for Sheltering in Place

We are grateful for our homes, and we seek ways to help the homeless.

We are grateful that we have the means to keep ourselves fed, and we seek ways to help the hungry.

We are grateful that we can reach out to others by phone, email, and videochat, and we find ourselves reaching out to people from our past.

We are grateful for everyone who takes stay at home orders seriously, and we seek to help those who work in essential jobs for our sake.

We are especially grateful for first responders and health care providers who risk their lives to help save ours, and we try to get them all the protective equipment they need.

We are grateful that a flood of information about the plague is at our fingertips, and we evaluate extreme messages for validity before we share them with anyone else.

We are grateful for the beauties of nature, and we will try to maintain the healing that is coming to the environment because of our self-confinement.

We are grateful for our health, and we pray that our small sacrifice will help slow down the spread of this pestilence.
