And the prayers aren’t just taking place outside all these hospitals, they’re also happening inside where multiple videos show medical workers joining together to pray while in their scrubs and masks.
Many of the videos are posted on the “NAME above all names” Facebook page where doctors and nurses are sharing their faith and praying together.

“We ask you to encourage them to be the leaders You have called them to be. Lord give them patience, strength and most of all love. Help them to see You in the difficult times.”
Please continue to pray for those at the front lines who are battling the Coronavirus outbreak.
