Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6-7
How can we overcome the fear and worry associated with the Coronavirus Scare?
​
If you are not saved (born again), then you need the gospel.
​
If you are saved, then below is a list that can help you navigate the emotions and fears that threaten to consume you.
​
1. Remember who God is (1 John 4:4). By meditating on His attributes you can overcome all temptations to worry.
​
2. Meditate on God's Word which can give you faith (Romans 10:17), transform your mind (Romans 12:1-2), and equip you for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). A good place to start is Matthew 6:25-34.
​
3. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) in all prayer and petition with thanksgiving, then the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
​
4. Stand in the strength and power of God, prepared to fight against all principalities and powers and schemes of the evil one (Ephesian 6:10-18, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
​
5. Do not stand alone. Call and connect with other Christians for mutual encouragement (Hebrews 10:24-25).
