Community Prayer for Uncertain Times
Written by Bobbi Salkeld

For our community prayer today, we name the precarious places in our lives where we have great concern about the spread of sickness, the care for the vulnerable, the present & the future, places near & places far. 

Please join me as we pray. 

In an uncertain time,
We often move from provision to scarcity - 
And wherever we go, God, you are there. 

God of creation,
May we ground our being in you
May we sense your comprehension for all things great and small
May we seek your beauty, your benevolence, your intricate workings
in all that we understand and all that we do not. 

In an uncertain time,
We often go from trust to distrust -
And wherever we go, God, you are there. 

Christ our friend, 
May we find your persistent love in all things
May we hear your invitation to bring our burdens to you and to share them with each other
May we be the friend the world needs right now - a friend who loves, serves, welcomes, cares, and considers the good of all. 

In an uncertain time,
We often leave behind love and choose fear - 
And wherever we go, God, you are there. 

Spirit of comfort, 
May we sense your animation in our bodies 
May we know the sacred truth that every part of our humanity matters 
May we meet you in ever-surprising ways as we slow down, learn more, and adjust to the world as it is. 
We quietly hold one thing we are grateful for in this little moment
And we say thank you,
AMEN.
