Even though I now find myself with all of this time on my hands, I'm still having trouble being calm. I don't know if it's because I feel like I should be working on my neverending to-do list, or because of the stress of trying to deal with the unemployment office, or because I can't kick this illness and the doctors won't see me.
Maybe it's all of the above and the fact that this pandemic is shutting down the world and our federal government is too busy acting like spoiled toddlers to care about the people they're supposed to be serving. The reasons for the anxiety aren't really relevant because I can't do anything about any of those situations anyway. What I can do is set aside time every single day to converse with our Father, our Creator, and listen for His replies. I can give all of my cares up to Him and He will take care of them for me.
Come to Me,
all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you
will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Please join me in praying for our world. Pray that God shows you how you can be a light during this time of darkness. Utilize the solitude to delve more deeply into His word and to pray without ceasing so that we may come out of this more radiant than when we began.
