PRAYER FOR A PANDEMIC (by Cameron Bellm)
Bill Gabbard
May we who are merely inconvenienced Remember those whose lives are at stake. May we who have no risk factors Remember those most vulnerable. May we who have the luxury of working from home Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent. May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close Remember those who have no options. May we who have to cancel our trips Remember those that have no safe place to go. May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market Remember those who have no margin at all. May we who settle in for a quarantine at home Remember those who have no home. As fear grips our country, let us choose love. During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors. Amen.

Psalm 136
1 O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever. 2 O give thanks to the God of gods, for His steadfast love endures forever. 3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords, for His steadfast love endures forever; 4 who alone does great wonders, for His steadfast love endures forever; 5 who by understanding made the heavens, for His steadfast love endures forever; 6 who spread out the earth on the waters, for His steadfast love endures forever; 7 who made the great lights, for His steadfast love endures forever; 8 the sun to rule over the day, for His steadfast love endures forever; 9 the moon and stars to rule over the night, for His steadfast love endures forever; 10 who struck Egypt through their firstborn, for His steadfast love endures forever; 11 and brought Israel out from among them, for His steadfast love endures forever; 12 with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for His steadfast love endures forever; 13 who divided the Red Sea[a] in two, for His steadfast love endures forever; 14 and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for His steadfast love endures forever; 15 but overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea,[b] for His steadfast love endures forever; 16 who led his people through the wilderness, for His steadfast love endures forever; 17 who struck down great kings, for His steadfast love endures forever; 18 and killed famous kings, for His steadfast love endures forever; 19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, for His steadfast love endures forever; 20 and Og, king of Bashan, for His steadfast love endures forever; 21 and gave their land as a heritage, for His steadfast love endures forever; 22 a heritage to his servant Israel, for His steadfast love endures forever. 23 It is He who remembered us in our low estate, for His steadfast love endures forever; 24 and rescued us from our foes, for His steadfast love endures forever; 25 who gives food to all flesh, for His steadfast love endures forever. 26 O give thanks to the God of heaven, for His steadfast love endures forever.
