‘We Are People of Courage’

A prayer for the people of God in a time of coronavirus
By Barbara Glasson, Ale De la Torre

We are not people of fear:

We are people of courage.

We are not people who protect our own safety:

we are people who protect our neighbors’ safety.

We are not people of greed:

we are people of generosity.

We are your people God,

giving and loving,

wherever we are,

whatever it costs

For as long as it takes

wherever you call us.

Barbara Glasson is president of the Methodist Conference, Britain.
