Prayer for key workers

Father we are in debt to so many

The key workers who go that extra mile

The ones we have undervalued

The ones we now lean on

The ones whose selfless service leaves them exposed

The ones who put their own lives and those of their families at risk

The ones who are there for all of us

Circle them Lord

Protect them and their loved ones

Grant them rest

Guard their emotional health

Show us how we can support them

Thank them for us Lord

Shower them in blessings

May we never again take them for granted

Remind us to maintain this new found admiration long after this crisis is over, to treat them more fairly, to create a more fair society

But for now Father there is only one thing that matters, only one thing we pray, please keep them safe. Amen
