Dear God,

I am making face masks for health care professionals.  So far I have made 48.  I feel purposeful.  I know I am doing important work.  But Lord, when I do so, I feel the fear, anxiety, worry, pain and loss for all those working with sick patients.  I feel their burden and at times I feel exhausted.

I know you are calling all of us to rely on you for courage, strength and peace.  I know you want us to surrender all that keeps us from peace.  I know you want to fill us with you and then we can do our work, whatever it may be, to help others.

Help us, O Lord.

Blessed God,
you are
the Great Physician.
You are
the Great Comforter.
You are
the Prince of Peace.
May I
breathe you in,
O God,
help me
breathe you in today.

Love, Andrea
