I’m not afraid for myself. Shall we indulge in fearlessness? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. I think we should always take our fears to Him if we waver and forget Whose we are Offer that fear to Him and He will quiet it with His love 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also communicating with other Christians helps a lot to know we are no alone in our Christian beliefs and in our faith. All handle stressful times differently as best they can, and hopefully we can be supportive to one another as best to our abilities and capabilities as some are more expressive during such times, and some are more kept to quiet prayer. Both are OK. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting ready for this for years, and really didn't understand the blessing that has been emotionally. I've had time to consider the ramifications many have not. It wasn't until we got here I realized it's much more of a shock for many than it has been for me. I can see different coping mechanisms at work in posts here....some recover emotional balance faster than others. But, fear is always an opportunity to deepen our relationship with Him, and we do need to deal with it if it crops up. There is still a bit of difficulty for many coming to terms with all this is going to mean... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t but many do. 1/3 of Americans do the rest pay dearly. 8 hours ago, Jostler said: One thing I have learned through this virus threat, is that it takes some time to adjust to the emotional shock.

I’ve tried to quote Jostler’s comment about emotional inability. I completely agree with that. My parents are very old and are adrift. They never thrived from the Word of God. I don’t know why some do and some don’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
