When I was little, I would always write and rewrite Bible verses when I was feeling anxious. It quickly became a good coping mechanisim for me and lasted well into my teenage years.

I know that the Coronavirus is a scary thing, and the future feels very much filled with uncertainty, but it’s important for us to remember who is in control. I really enjoyed a reminder from Judah Smith that he shared to Instagram this past week.

“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but rather from wanting to control it,” Smith wrote. “Anxiety doesn’t remove tomorrow’s suffering, it only removes today’s strength. Rest in who JESUS IS and give all fears and anxieties to him.”
