I found this Prayer For A Pandemic on the www attributed to Cameron Bellm and really appreciated the thoughtful words.

My prayer for all here at NeuroTalk is protection and peace in the midst of this Covid-19 pandemic

We know we are all going through unprecedented changes and many are very anxious, and some classified "high risk".

Please use this thread if you would like others here to pray for you, and also if you need to release pent up anxiety, confusion, fear etc. and be encouraged.

It's good to be able to find support and prayer in time of need

Thank you so much, Chemar, for this thread! We really need this right now. God bless you! This is a difficult thing for almost everyone. People all over the world are worried, to say the least. I'm very grateful for my forum friendships & a place to go & not feel alone with what I'm going through.

I hope that all members are coping well with this.

So far I am fine. I have enough food for me and my cat for at least 10 days.

Whenever I go out to do some shopping most people are following the new rules; no physical contact and try to keep at least a metre from them.

There was a photo of central Sydney in the paper today. Usually it is full of people going about their lives but today it was deserted. I guess that most following the "only go out when you need to" rule.

It looks like countries all around the world are really trying very hard to stop the virus from spreading. And it seems like a lot of people are trying to be careful. So I sort of feel a bit optimistic about this pandemic just kind of fading away. I wish for all of you good health & relief from worry & anxiety:

Something good coming from all the bad of this pandemic is how many people are doing random acts of kindness and showing care for others! I am so encouraged reading those news reports, and also seeing it first hand in my community. Neighbors leaving notes in mailboxes that they are available to help if needed, and also checking on elderly folks (while practicing sensible social distancing!)

Also some positive changes happening in Nature in the midst of the human struggle.
Satellite imagery shows air pollution levels around the World way down!
And, in the absence of all the tourist ships, boats etc., the canals of Venice are running clear for the first time in many many years.

I do hope this time of global crisis will pass soon, and we will emerge as a better humanity than we had become.

Stay safe everyone

Thank you so much, Chemar! I'm sorry I didn't see your post until now. I do feel that light at the end of the tunnel, but I have negative feelings sometimes. We all need to support & encourage each other. Thank you, everyone, for whatever you can do, no matter how small, a little bit of reassurance to someone else, or leaving something extra at the store for someone else to buy. God bless all of you!!

A Golden Oldie song from the early 1960s has become much beloved again globally during this pandemic time.

(I am old enough to remember when it first came out )

Be blessed & Encouraged!

This prayer is beautiful. COVID19 will end. I just feel so sad when I read news stories about COVID19 deaths.

Hard to believe we are going into July and still seeing so many covid cases, especially here in the USA.

I do pray for all impacted and also for everyone to do their part to help avoid spread. Together we can help each other get through this challenging time.

Thank you, Chemar! We need to hang in there & follow all the good advice to keep all of us safe. We will get through this. And what a wonderful day it will be when this very unusual time is over. Take care, people!
