Do Not Fear

  • Wednesday, April 8, 2020

They are saying that within the next week we will have tremendous loss of life due to the coronavirus, I see the fears rising all over social media. 

They will not come into our homes and infect us with the virus, so just get outside if you can just for a walk or stay indoors whatever you prefer, and limit your time online, otherwise all the news will infect instead. 

Just maintain social distancing, and only gather with those in your household. 

We all have higher anxiety during this time, but please make good use of the time that you have today, and trust that whatever happens it will be fine. 

I know that it is not as easy as it sounds, for different reasons many have more reason to worry, due to having underlying health issues, or being on the front lines, none of us are safe right now, not even the healthiest. 

God tells us take refuge in him, not in man. Psalm 118:2

We can be the light the world need's right here in Hamilton County, Tn. 

To our leaders my suggestion is to lead your community in prayer, when two or more gather together, he is sure to be among them. 

Set yourself aside to be different than the others. 

Please do not lose hope, and have faith in what you feel, which may not be seen.

We are all still here because someone has prayed for us, so let's do the same and unite in prayer for our community, and the world.  

We do not have to gather together, all we have to do is pray together. 

We are always dancing around what needs to be said, in fear of offending someone, nobody should be offended by others choosing to pray. If you are then, I do not apologize, and I will continue to pray as well as many.

Do not fear, for the Lord is with you, do not be dismayed for the Lord is our God, he will strengthen you and help you, He will uphold you with his righteous right hand.   

You do not have to like what I am saying, but you also do not have to read it, if you so choose, either way I am praying for the world, my community, and our leaders. 

We will get through this, we all need others to be strong for the ones that feel weak. If you feel like you are weak, you are not, you may be the strongest one. 

"In God we trust."

Peace, love, happiness and hope to all.
