Prayer for March 18, 2021

Prayer for March 18, 2021: Please pray with me. God of healing, we need you. We always do, but it is in times of trauma that we actually recognize it. We have been going through a worldwide trauma for a year now with this pandemic. That’s on top of the trauma of polarization and toxic partisanship, economic struggles, mental health issues, racial injustice, and so much more. All of these things by themselves are traumatic, but coupled together, we are drowning in a sea of trauma. Lord, many are struggling each day, wandering in a sea of despair, confusion, exhaustion, fear, anger, and emotions that we don’t even know what to call. We need you. Hear our cry. Give us what we need to get through this. Help us to see that you walk with us in this mess, that you are right beside us, right now – not off in some distant heaven as if none of this affects you. You are a God who comes to your people, especially in times of trouble. Come to us. We need you. Amen.
