Laments, Psalms, and Contemplations
for Global Healthcare Workers

There are times when the intensity of human suffering we attend to is heart numbing. There are moments when we understandably fear but need to buckle up and manage a crisis. And, there are soul wrenching decisions we abhor to make. In all of this we wonder...where is God? What on earth is he doing? How do we reach out when what we have to offer is not necessarily "nice." This blog is trying to find a voice, steeped in the tradition of biblical faith.

God of the Poor and Needy, a Psalm

4/10/2020

Lord, our God, you are a God of compassion. You care about the poor and needy. Their calls reach your ear and move your heart. We praise and worship you for that, oh God!

Lord, we are grateful that this pandemic initially mostly affected countries with more resources, given those with less means time to prepare. Now we see the increasing spread in these countries. Lord have mercy! Lord, protect, equip, give leaders wisdom, and people the understanding to do, what they can do. Give them discernment to decide, what works best for them. We plead for added remedies for support, treatment, and care! We dread, what we can imagine could happen to the vulnerable and poor. Lord help! Please allow them to obtain needed protective materials, resources for medical care, send helping hands, people, whose heart you move and empower to come to their aid.  

Thank you for hearing our cries for mercy, God! Your unfailing love gives us hope . Your presence gives us comfort and peace. Thank you for your unchanging love, whose mysteries we cannot fathom.
