Lord, we pray for:

• wisdom and protection for the Australian people as we deal with the coronavirus pandemic and what it will mean for our lives
• wisdom for the Australian Government and for all world leaders to manage and contain the coronavirus in their country
• Healing, comfort and successful containment measures for those infected by the coronavirus
