Prayer in time of home confinement

In the middle of yet another national lockdown, may we offer up our fears and anxieties to the Lord.

Prayer in time of home confinement

Dear Lord Jesus,

When I look at other people’s houses from the outside,
I imagine they are all enjoying days of cosiness and companionship.
Forgive me, Lord, but I envy those people who have a tranquil home.
As day after day, I ‘shelter in place’ in my house,
I find that this is not a refuge from tension, anger, shouting, and worse…
Lord, protect me and anyone who lives in fear in their own home.
Defender of the weak, I need your help and I place myself in the
shadow of the cross.

Amen.
