My husband said that the
Coronavirus and social distancing is the leading cause of peoples suffering
from depression and is stressed out, and very anxious. Scripture is the best
way to renew our minds and change our mind-set. Helping us focus and meditate
on the Lord.
Deuteronomy 31: 6 "I
am strong, courageous, and firm; I fear not and am not in terror, for it is the
Lord my God Who goes with me; He will not fail me or forsake me."
Psalm 86: 7 "In the
day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me."
Psalm 139: 23 - 24
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and
see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Proverbs 15: 15 "All
the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and
forebodings], but I have a glad heart and a continual feast [regardless of
circumstances]."
Matthew 6: 27 "My
worrying and being anxious will not add one unit of measure (cubit) to my
stature or the span of my life."
Matthew 6: 31, 33 "I
will not worry and be anxious, saying, What am I going to eat? Or what am I
going to drink? or What am I going to wear? ... But I will seek (aim at and
strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing
and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given me
besides."
Matthew 6: 34 "I
will not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and
anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its trouble."
Mark 4: 19 "I will
not let the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires
for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful."
Philippians 4: 6 - 7
"I am not anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petitions, with thanksgiving, I present my requests to God, which transcends
all understanding, guards my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus."
1 Peter 5: 7 "I cast
the whole of my care [all my anxieties, all my worries, all my concerns, once
and for all] on Him, for He cares for me affectionately and cares about me
watchfully."
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Lord,
please help us face today, using Your Word to renew our minds and helping us
draw near to You. Forgive us our sins, in Jesus Name. Amen
