All that has recently occurred with COVID-19 continues to be front and center in the news. The virus issue has uprooted lives around the world.  Government and knowledgeable industry experts are doing their utmost to provide proper actions and reactions. They are committed to making decisions that are responsible and thoroughly researched in order to bring about viable actions and solutions.

However, we all know Who is really in charge and Who is guiding those decisions to provide for us all and to resolve this issue facing the world. 

Let’s get in touch and keep in touch with our Lord and Savior…

Where Can We Find Strength and Assurance?

Ask the Lord for help by praying. Asking Him to be with you can help you endure far more than you'd ever be able to do on your own. You may wonder how to pray. Just speak, trusting God will hear you. Pray for His comfort and strength, rather than praying that he'd simply remove difficulties.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46:1-3

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10

Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9-10

Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3-4

Don’t Worry Or Fear

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?  Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Luke 12:25-26

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6

Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:18-19

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

God Gives Us A Spirit Of Strength And Power

Through faith in Christ we are given a spirit of power, love and discipline, and for that reason we have nothing to fear. We can hold onto His promises and be confident that He’ll see us through even the darkest of days.

I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2

Praise the Lord! Happy are those who fear the Lord. They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord. Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid. Isaiah 112: 1, 7-8

Find Strength and Peace In The Lord

Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually! 1 Chronicles 16:11

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:1-3

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:17

I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
