Christian Counseling Certification Program Article on Prayer and Pandemic

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

A nice look about people of different faiths and how they manage during the pandemic to prayer together while apart.  The pandemic has restricted some religious public worship and has limited other ways we can come together, but we can still pray and we can still pray for each other.  With social distancing, we can also within the various religious traditions still come together in safely despite the dangers.

Prayer and spirituality are important during times when we cannot socially gather in worship. Please also review AICHP’s Christian Counseling Certification

 

The article, “Staying Apart but Praying Together” by James Estrin looks at how religious groups are remaining spiritual and strong despite covid.  He states,

“The sanctuary at The Jewish Center accommodates more than 500 people but only 60 are now allowed inside at a time. Attendees must preregister online, answer a coronavirus exposure survey and have their temperature taken at the door. When weather permits, shortened services are held outside on the rooftop.”

The article covers other faiths as well.  To read the entire article, please click here

Despite shutdowns, or restrictions, the faith remains strong during the pandemic and people will find a way to pray to God, whether privately or in public via safe measures.  God does not wish his creation to test him but to respect the safety measures for all.  This does not make one’s faith less but makes one logical.  God can protect us from any plague, but we cannot as his creation test him and do foolish things that promote its spread.

Complicated grief often drives a person to fixate on certain associations of loss and to avoid other associations, which can make it difficult for one to do the kind of thoughtful narrative work inherent in the grief process.
