Lets just focus on the things we can control. Try not to panic because we do know that God is still in control.
This is all new for all of us. Even as a homeschooler it's changed our lives a little. Our church is cancelled meeting together but instead we watch online. We have to plan meals for a month at a time.
For those who are learning to work/school from home I can't imagine the stress you are going through. You are in the middle of this new way of life and we don't know how long it will last. Remember this will not last forever. Things will get back to normal one day. We don't know how long but everything will be ok.
Don't allow the devil to steal your joy and create fear in your heart. Watching the news to stay updated once a day is ok. Just don't be consumed by the news and watch it all day. It can stir up fear in your mind and before you know you will be having a full blown panic attack.
There is always a silver lining in hard times. During this time of isolation try to focus on the positive effects it is having on your family.
-we are saving money by staying home
-we are forced to spend more time with each other
-less crime will likely happen when most people aren't leaving their house
-there will be less car accidents
-more people are praying now more than ever before
-our faith is growing as we trust in God for our health
God is not surprised but this. Read this chapter from the Bible and see how this only more signs that we are getting closer to the rapture of the church.
Matthew 24
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
