I do pray this virus will end. I do pray that God will stop the spread of it. I do pray for His mercy.
I have kept the verses in Philippians in mind. The ones that talk about rejoicing and being anxious for nothing. And then, with prayer let God know your requests and His peace will guard your hearts. It is wonderful to dump things off in his hands.
I think that has allowed me to rest. Let me clarify that a bit more: it has allowed me to rest, guilt free. It has allowed me to enjoy a nap and a walk in my afternoons. It has given me focused time in prayer. It has let me unwind myself from a tense 3.5 years. I am more than thankful. In the midst, I can rejoice.
I know this situation is hard for so many people. I can’t even imagine what added hardships are burdening people with the addition of the virus. But I know God’s Word is true. And if He says His peace will guard our hearts, then it will.
Thanks for praying! I got another great week of rest coming up. This is so exciting!
