In this trying time we need to remember these three principles.
Faith Over Fear
There is nothing wrong in being apprehensive, or taking precautions. But when the fear of something overrides your faith, satan is winning. It is hard at times, but this testing of your faith will only make you stronger.
These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
1 Peter 1:7

Peace Over Panic
Panic is an out of control emotion. Our rational mind stops and fear and panic take over. If you are struggling with this, Jesus promises to give us peace. Check out this verse.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
God Over Everything
At times it does feel like God is not in control, but that is how we feel. God IS in control right now, in this chaos.
“Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” Luke 12:22-26

This is so true and I believe that there are so many people who need to hear this NOW ! Maybe it’s to let someone know for the first time so that they can come to the Lord for salvation ! Or maybe it’s for many who know this as Christians but need to be reminded in all of this craziness that God truly is in control ! And that we need to approach Him in faith and Trust and in complete Surrender!!! We see what is happening at this moment in time and it can be so frightening, overwhelming hard to focus on anything but fear. But the Bible says that Perfect Love casts out all fear and God IS THAT PERFECT LOVE!!! Be Still and know that He is God and bring all of your needs, anxiety and fear to the foot of the Cross. Trust in His promises and that is where you Will Find Peace that passes ALL UNDERSTANDING ✝️ 🙌 ❤️

Forgiveness is what I live by daily and grace is my staple food. God is carrying me through the crisis of double bypass surgery, with some complications as I suffered a silent infarct, living on my own, far away from my children, at the age of 81, and I know that He is always by my side. He alone is faithful. Praise His holy name.
