I never thought I would celebrate my birthday on lockdown - Beverly Naya

Actress Beverly Naya has revealed that the lockdown declared due to coronavirus has prevented her from going to Singapore to mark her birthday.

The actress who clocked a year older today took to social media to express how she feels about the pandemic ravaging the world.

Beverly Naya also prayed for those going through a hard time and health workers at the forefront of battling the deadly virus.

She wrote: "Birthday. Grateful for today but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t constantly thinking about what’s going on around the world, it’s overwhelming. If someone had told me that this would be how I’d spend my birthday, I’d have laughed...I was supposed to be in Singapore! Alas, here we are...the impossible has happened but I’ve chosen to see the blessings in all of this. This is a unique opportunity to be still and just appreciate the little things in life.

"Dear Lord, thank you for this day and thank you for your blessings...Thank you for your mercy, love, protection and for great health. I pray that you heal the world and be with every person going through trying times right now. Be with those who are sick, those who have lost loved ones, those who have lost their jobs, those who are starving and/or homeless, those who are battling depression and please be with all the health workers".
