A PRAYER FOR THOSE WITHIN THE LEICESTER LOCKDOWN ZONE

Loving God,

ever-present with your people

through the highs and lows of life,

we cry out to you for Leicester

in the face of prolonged suffering and hardship

as a result of lockdown.

Grant us peace in our frustration;

strength to our NHS and all who are called to care and help;

wisdom to our city leaders; 

and discernment for our churches in offering the medicine of your gospel.

Bless all caught in the grip of Covid-19 and comfort the grieving.

In the name of the One who gives us hope,

Jesus Christ. Amen.

offered by the Church Leaders of Churches Together in Leicester and Leicestershire
