2 Corinthians 1:3-4
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all
comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the
comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
We are currently experiencing a period of extreme instability, uncertainty, and anxiety. This global
pandemic has geographically disconnected us. Our faith has been tested, and our peace of mind has
been tainted. However, in this time of noise and chaos, God is there to provide us with silence and
stillness. God is our refuge every time the wind roars, the wave gushes, the earth shakes, and the fire
burns. His presence brings us peace, hope, and comfort. His words are our swords against despair,
loneliness, and worriedness . And no matter what storm we face, we need to know that God loves us
and that he has not abandoned us.
