Let Hope Flourish

Let Hope Flourish

Time to Reflect September 26, 2020 0Comments

Hospitals are places of vulnerability. Paper gown, illness, no visitors, blank walls, and the smiles of strangers offering you tea. Humanity and Humaness, exacerbated by this Coronovirus Pandemic.

A healthcare worker tells me she’s started praying. She’s not the first. The stress, anxiety, trauma of seeing people dying because they cannot catch their breath, has people with their hands turned to the heavens.

I wonder at this safety mechanism, that when the going gets tough, in our incredibly tender human moments, we pray to a being greater than us & our troubles. On our worst nights, where monitors are bleeping or the thought of tomorrow is overwhelming; we all know, in the pits of our stomach, we all know that none of us are above the need of God.
