The light of daytime is getting longer, yet it feels like it is still dark. The winter clouds and grey skies accentuates the gloom of our pandemic days. We are tired, maybe even fatigued as pandemic continues to dictate our daily schedule.  We are looking for hope and for light during these mid-winter days.

Let us pray:

God of the ages, you have always been faithful to your people.
Come to us now. Let us feel your presence.
Give comfort and courage to those who are suffering.
Give strength and skill to those who are working to bring health and wholeness.
Give us your peace that passes all understanding in these moments of fatigue and exhaustion.
Open our eyes, hearts, and hands to the movements of your Spirit,
that we might know the hope and light of your presence and love.
In the name of Christ, our healer and our light. Amen.
