As the COVID-19 virus spreads, it’s very easy to lose faith and to live in fear of the headlines and people’s predictions. But even in shaky, unsettling times, Christians can have firm confidence, for we are people of the Word who know that the world belongs to our sovereign Lord.

Ps 46: Ps 91: God’s word is a miracle working medicine. Be still and know that I am God.” The Lord bless you and protect you, Joni, husband and friends. 🙏🏼💖✝️ We pray...2 Chronicles 7:13-15 Amen

God brought me here today! Just last night I was speaking to my husband about you....I told him to remember the life you have lived in spite of your very early accident and physical restrictions! If you can trust in God and rejoice in adversity we must do the same! Thanks to all Christian leaders leaving words of encouragement online for the rest of the body of Christ...God bless you!!

Thank you, Joni. Last weekend I was startled awake at midnight when my CPAP machine turned off. I checked the power strip but it wasn’t turned off. Then I noticed the outside security lights were off so I called the power company and explained that I have severe sleep apnea and needed help as soon as possible for my apartment building which has several disabled Senior residents. They came and were able to restore power 2 hrs later. We’ve been on lockdown for two weeks because one of the residents learned her caregiver was diagnosed with CoVid19. Your prayers are appreciated.

I live alone and have been somewhat worried about this virus as I'm 75 years old. So it was uplifting to hear this message from Joni. I suppose the thought of isolating myself from everyone for 12 weeks is depressing, but there you go. I think if this message had been given by Jesus himself, it would still get some thumbs down, what's wrong with people.

I also enjoyed Psalms 91 which we all can go under cover in Jesus. Yes, we can pray that our Lord who is in charge of this battle to 'break' the chain of this virus from going to one person to another. Have mercy on the ones who are dying to lift up their eyes towards heaven to be able to confess with their mouth of their sins and call on the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
