Fear, confusion, loss, and anger have driven many to despair. What do we need to know?
We need to know the LORD will be merciful and kind. He loves us with a deep and rich love. The love of our heavenly Father remains with us always. God does not withdraw His love even during times of discipline and testing (Psalms 86:5, 136:26, Proverbs 3:11-12; Ephesians 2:4; Hebrews 12:6).
Stay in the word of God for comfort and guidance in your thoughts. When fear, anxiety, and confusion come, read God’s word and let His word govern your thoughts.
