Prayers for the coronavirus outbreak

The Diocese of Exeter has produced a series of helpful prayers for Christians to use in conjunction with the spread of coronavirus.

The prayers ask for God's comfort in the face of the outbreak, healing for those who are ill, and strength for medical staff and researchers. 

They have been published alongside guidance for churches to minimise the spread of the virus, which can be read in full here.
