God of our path-
We don’t know what’s coming. We don’t know how this disease will spread or how it will impact our bodies- if we catch it.
God of our road-
The journey is long. Have we hit the wall on our run? Have we overestimated our energies?
May we see this is a marathon and not a sprint. May we slow when our bodies stop cooperating. May we dream when our minds become overwhelmed with fear.
May we see you a few steps ahead of us, and may we follow your steps to the best solutions.
Amen.
