Dear Readers,

If you, like many of us, have felt a little overwhelmed by the changes that have affected life across the world this week, here are a few things you can do.

Firstly, pray! This one goes without saying … but how often are we tempted to let our eyes drift from the Lord and to neglect fellowship with Christ in favour of other things? Let’s read the Word, pray, be still and know that He is God (Ps. 46:10), and have confidence that no matter what changes, He never does. No matter the disappointment or the fear, He knows, He cares, and He is still in charge. Our faith is in Him!

You may be at home with time on your hands because of cancelled events, and you may not be sure what to do with that time. If so, it can be really helpful to find ways to take dominion over your space, and bring order to chaos.

That may look like cleaning your room.

Weeding the garden.

Training the dog.

Digging a hole to plant something or making a raised vegetable bed.

Germinating seeds.

Organizing your bookshelf.

Fixing the fence.

Stitching that hole in your socks.
