Fear Not




Phil 4:6-7 ~ Don't be anxious about anything ~ In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! <3
We are definitely living in a time that can cause fear and anxiety. When we began to hear about this Coronavirus and all that was happening in China we didn't take it too serious but when it began to move to other countries we took notice.

 Here in America, most people began to overreact and cleared out the grocery stores of toilet paper, hand sanitizers, Clorox wipes paper towels and Kleenex.

 The next phases were grocery shopping and once again clearing the shelves of bread, eggs, meat, frozen meals, water, and the list goes on.

 I was way behind the curve as far as shopping goes. I make out my menus for the week and what ingredients I need and then head to the story. I was shocked to find many isles empty.  

Some ways to not open the door to fear and anxiety:

  • Don't be a news junkie
  • Don't dwell on negative thoughts
  • Keep your mind focused on positivity
  • Find things to do that brings peace to your mind
Here are some things that will keep your mind and emotions from going astray.
  • Work jigsaw and word puzzles.
  • Read something inspirational.
  • Work on a hobby (I love to scrapbook and I find my mind doesn't stray when I am making family memories.)
  • Reach out to others by phone and give them an encouraging word.
  • Start a group text so you can stay in touch with your friends.
  • Readout loud the scriptures in this blog to reach a place of peace.
