Prayer for Nova Scotia
O God, we are lost.
We cannot comprehend the horror, the pain, the fear.
The incredible anguish and loss.
We pray that those who grieve will find openings in their fear and pain to receive the comfort offered by loved ones, and others who care.
We pray that those whose lives were taken will find their home in you, and that their lives will live on in the lives of those who remember them.
Help us, in our moments of shadows and darkness, to find light and hope.
In our weakness, may we seek not so much to understand, but to find ways to tend to the hurt and pain of others, that we might draw together to share the load.
Thank you for your love and compassion.
Watch over our loved ones, those who are ill, and those who struggle in this time of isolation.
Protect those who continue to work to keep us safe, well and healthy.
You are our strength and our hope.
In you we will trust.
We offer these prayers in the name of the one who loves us and walks with us as we pray the prayer that he taught us,
Our Father, who art in heaven……….
