Before you go to sleep, you might like to pray these prayers from the Church of England website.  Mindful of the many that have lost their lives to Covid-19 and those very poorly this evening.  We are in Holy Week, and Maundy Thursday was the day when we remember Jesus washing his disciples feet, and blessing and sharing bread and wine the night before he was crucified.  Reminding them he had come to serve others, not to be served.

Let us pray to God who alone makes us dwell in safety

For all who are affected by coronavirus, through illness or isolation or anxiety, that they may find relief and recovery.

Lord hear us, Lord graciously hear us.

For those who are guiding our nation at this time, And shaping our national policies, that they may make wise decisions.

Lord hear us, Lord graciously hear us.

For doctors, nurses and medical researchers, that through their skills and insights, many will be restored to health.

Lord hear us, Lord graciously hear us.

For the vulnerable and fearful, for the gravely ill and dying, that they may know your comfort and peace.

Lord hear us, Lord graciously hear us.

We commend ourselves and for all whom we pray, to the mercy and protection of God.

We pray in Jesus' name.

Amen
