Covid-19 Emergency Our key workers have never been so important.

Along with many in our nations and our world, ICF salutes and honours all those working in key occupations to seek to preserve the wellbeing of everyone. We call upon all people of faith to hold our nations' workforce in your prayers.

Covid-19 - Praying for the World at Work

In these unprecedented circumstances, which have re-defined our experience of work, we have suspended our usual prayer updates. Instead we will seek to offer some weekly prayer reflections around the world of work, which you might include alongisde your prayers for everyone affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

In every case, we encourage you to pray for all those in key occupations, those that are obvious and those that are not, as they seek to enable our communities to stay as safe and well as possible.

This week, we would particularly encourage you to pray for those involved in planning and logistics. It is easy to become impatient for responses and answers, but we recognise too that effective and sustainable solutions take time to develop and implement. We pray for patience for all of us; wisdom and resiliance for those tasked with finding appropriate ways forward, and success for the endeavours of those tasked with putting their plans into action.

Our scheduled prayer focus this week is for those involved in the leisure industry. As we pray for those forced to stay away from work, work from home or having to adapt to new tasks and roles - while praying for all, you are invited to particularly pray for those in the leisure sector affected by current realities.
