Faith during these difficult times

Where to even start...

Let's start with my Faith...  it's always been what has carried me in life. Through all my trials and tribulations, through good times and through dark times. None the Less My Faith Is Strong! Even through this Pandemic.

I am a Technical Analyst at a Hospital, I am considered "Essential", which by all means, I consider myself blessed and grateful...  I'm finding that this "Stay At Home" Sheltering and staying away from my children and grandchildren are starting to wear on me...  I found myself praying over the anxiety that I am starting to feel from not being around family, worried for all my children and their personal health and my grandchildren's health. Family is everything to me...  So, I am trying to focus on our loving God and pray for peace of mind as He always tells us he is ready to give us, if we only focus on Him.

There are so many families that have lost so much more than I, family members, jobs, income, and normalcy of their lives. I will focus on praying for all affected by this pandemic.

Pray for grieving families who have lost loved ones to the corona virus. Even as their hearts are breaking, we pray they would know your nearness and comfort. We pray that you compassion, Lord, would be felt through the Holy Spirit's ministry and through the ministry of friends and neighbors who come around them. We pray against despair; we pray new mercies every morning.

"Do not be anxious 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 4:6-7
 

Stay safe
