God the source of all breath - Prayers for India during second Covid wave

 God the source of all breath,

We join with the people in India

crying for a breath of oxygen,

crying for a breath of life,

crying for a breath of love,

during this deadly second covid wave.

 

Breathe your fresh breath of life O God into all our creation,

Breathe your peace to all those who lost their dear ones,

Breathe your healing to all those infected by this virus,

Breathe your wisdom to all health workers offering their care,

Breathe your knowledge to all politicians to make responsible decisions,

Breathe your comfort to all those living in fear, anxiety and depression,

Breathe your love to all people, specially to the vulnerable and those on the margins,

Breathe your justice so that corporate capitalism of profit making is contested,

Breathe your compassion so that vaccines are made available to all people,

Breathe your solidarity so that we stand together in overcoming this pandemic

Breathe your Spirit on us so that we strive towards transforming our world today,

Breathe your grace on us to care, to share and to love one another beyond doubt,

Breathe on us your fresh breath of life O God…

 

We ask this in the name of Jesus, who shares our breath. Amen.
