3 Powerful Prayers For Strength During Coronavirus Panic

Every day the media is putting out something new about the Coronavirus. We learn about new cases, new deaths and new fears. We are given information about statistics, rates, and symptoms. We are told what we can do to prevent contracting the serious virus and what we should do if we do become ill with COVID-19. Even with all of the details and all the information, a lot of us remain confused and terrified. 

We ask you, humbly: don't scroll away.

Here's some of  what we do know about COVID-19, more popularly known as the Coronavirus: 

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), it began in Wuhan, China from an animal-to-person spread in a market. The disease is being spread through droplets in the air from an infected person's cough or sneeze. It's important to remember to always wash your hands and refrain from touching your face, because if you come in contact with an infected person and touch your mouth, nose or eyes, you may contract Coronavirus. 

Aside from what you can do physically to increase your chances of not contracting the disease, we must remember our prayers are powerful. Prayers have been known to heal a lot, including fears and feelings of distress. 

As the world erupts in panic, let us turn our fears over to the Lord. 

Here are some prayers for those affected by or afraid of the Coronovirus.

Prayer in Time of Sickness

O Jesus, You suffered and died for us; You understand suffering; Teach me to understand my suffering as You do; To bear it in union with You; To offer it with You to atone for my sins And to bring Your grace to souls in need. Calm my fears; increase my trust. May I gladly accept Your holy will and become more like You in trial. If it be Your will, restore me to health so that I may work for Your honor and glory and the salvation of all men. Amen.

Give Me Strength, Lord

Lord, you are Holy above all others, and all of the strength that I need is in your hands.I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want. But I admit that it's hard, Lord.

Sometimes I feel like I can't go on. The pain and the fear are too much for me, and I know that I don't have the strength on my own to get through this. I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone.

Please, Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. I don't have to worry about tomorrow.If you just give me the strength that I need today that is all I need. Keep me from sinning during this trial. Instead, help me to keep my eyes on you. You are the Holy Lord, and all of my hope rests in you. Thank you for hearing my prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen. 

We ask you, humbly, to help.

Dear Lord, You are the Just judge, Holy and True. You are the Most High God. You give us life. You hold all power in your hands.

You are the Mighty one from God who carries the world, and is ruler over all the earth. You Oh Most Blessed One are the giver of life. In you are only good things. In you is mercy and love. In you is healing of the nations. In you is freedom of worry and freedom of pain.

Lord Almighty, You loved us so much. You were sent from your Father, sent to save us from destruction. We truly can never make it to Heaven without the help of Jesus the Son, who was sent to earth to help us.

You, Lord are full of mercy and grace, please forgive us for our faults. Lord Jesus, in you all healing is performed. You Lord are the miracle worker. In your Spirit, your gift of healing is alive. In you Lord we can put our trust that you can heal us, and protect us from the enemy, and death of our soul.

You, Lord are miracle worker for the sick, and for the lost souls. You, Lord forgive us and save us from condemnation. You cleanse us and make us born again new. You give us a clean heart full of peace. You Lord are the Light. In You is all truth. Your way Lord is the way to Heavenly Hope. Your hands Lord created the universe. You Lord are the True giver of Life. Every child is a miracle of Life. Life rests in Your Hands.
