Dear God Almighty,

During these times of sickness and death, we beseech

Thy intercession. Many people are being inflicted with

the coronavirus worldwide at this time.

May Thy Holy Shield of Protection be all around us and throughout the earth.

Let not this deadly virus take over the people and the country.

Protect all people that have encountered this virus.

Those who are sick from such virus, may they receive Thy healing grace that is needed for their body, mind, and

spirit. Let not the enemy be victorious over us.

You are our Sovereign Lord, who has the Sword of Justice and the Armor of Protection for all of your people.

May we not be left defenseless doing these times. May the African American communities receive the proper care

throughout the pandemic.

Oh God, the numbers of deaths are increasing daily. May Thy Might prevail over all darkness and evil.

May we as a people do not perish. Amen!

Editor’s note: Members of Eagle Wings of Enlightenment Center, a center dedicated to peace and non-violence in South L.A., have been offering this prayer daily and Mataji, EWOEC’s founding minister, is asking all to pray this prayer for the eradication of the coronavirus and for the protection and healing of all humanity. According to Mataji, “The power of prayer can bring about healing and eradicate any threat.”
