Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
It seems each day we’ve more to fear,
A pandemic and an election year.
Sick of masking, washing, and being apart,
We want to hug friends-because it’s good for the heart
Kids study at home virtually and dad office is the spare bedroom,
Yoga class is on TV and grandma’s learned to Zoom.
Life still advances whether we’re ready or not.
I remind myself God knows the battles I’ve fought.
The only way I calm myself when things are out of hand,
Is calling on my faith that God is still in command.
Not sitting back, but standing up where I can,
Letting worries drop and scatter like grains of sand.
