The last year or so has been a time of high anxiety and fear for many. The words “global pandemic” don’t exactly create pleasing thoughts.
Even through this crazy time, God is still God and unlike what we may think or believe, He is and always will be in control. When we think about situations beyond our control it does sometimes bring anxiety, depression, and fear.
But because God is still God, you can have hope and you can trust in His abilities to orchestrate all things for your good and His glory. Losing a loved one feels like an injustice and we grieve deeply for them.
It’s important to always remember them and never forget the things we’ve endured in these difficult times. But don’t let sadness, fear, and anxiety weigh down your heart.
Yes, give yourself a chance to grieve the loss of someone you love and opportunities you’ve missed during these hard times, but be willing and open to move on.
Let God work in your heart and renew your mind and strength. Be open to words of encouragement from others and don’t be afraid to give it right back to them.
Allow the light and love of God into your life and you’ll find things will be a lot less scary and you can walk in His truths that you’ll never walk alone.
