A Prayer Marking One Year of Pandemic Life, for All Ages

God,

you are with us all the time. 

All the time you are with us.

Today we remember: 

We remember how things used to be. 

We remember how many things we have gone through. 

We remember things we missed and people we lost.

Today we hope: 

We hope for healing. 

We hope for vaccines. 

We hope for wisdom.

Today we share: 

We share smiles with one another. 

We share our joys and our sorrows. 

We share our dreams for the future.

God,

you are with us, all the time. 

All the time, you are with us. 

Be with us as we remember, hope, and share.

Amen.
