The COVID-19 outbreak has turned many people’s lives upside down.
The overwhelming emotions of fear and depression can leave you feeling utterly powerless and unable to cope with life’s challenges.
Limiting time spent watching the news, listening to the radio, and using the Internet can help restore a sense of normalcy.
“Always remember that God has complete and unwavering control over every aspect of our lives.”
Psalm 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
With all the evil going on, it can be frightening. However, there are still people who help each other and help those in need.
Surround yourself with people who uplift you, consume uplifting media, find safe activities for you and your family, keep your thoughts positive, and help uplift others.
The more you see, think, and do that reflects peace, happiness, and positivity, the more they can impact your mood and perspective on life.
What is another method for maintaining a positive outlook?
Embrace the transformative power of the word of God!
Immerse yourself in the daily words of God from the Bible and experience the lasting peace it brings.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
The Bible is uplifting for those who believe in its teachings.
The Bible teaches that what comes from your mouth comes from your heart. Therefore, instead of only reading the Bible, we should actively engage with it, seeking out positive scriptures, writing them down, and committing them to memory.
The next time fear and depression start to come into your mind, take a moment to speak out loud some scriptures. Allow the sound of the words to fill your mind, repeating them until you feel the fear and depression dissipate, leaving you with a sense of calm and peace.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
We must transform our minds with the word of God.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Be cautious of the thoughts you entertain, for they have the power to shape your life.
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
