A prayer for all who feel isolated

Loving Lord Jesus,

who calmed the storm and guided your disciples to safe land,

hear our prayers for those who are suffering in the silence of isolation at this time.

To the needy, grant relief, to the fearful, reassurance

and to the desperate, the hope of release that only you can give.

Amen
