The recent weeks have brought a level of crisis after crisis news that would cause anyone to be afraid. I have over the years developed a process that works for me. I start with how I feel, because feelings are very real. Then I transition to the facts that I know because I was given a mind to think. Finally, I fully transition to what I believe to be true based on God’s word. This ultimately is the only safe place to conquer fear. This post by Kristen Wetherell is excellent:
“Years ago, I grappled with the constant fear of my Lyme disease reactivating and the potential injuries that would further debilitate my already weak body. Every day, I wrestled with what the future might hold: Will I ever be healed from Lyme? Will I get my energy back, or will chronic fatigue be my new normal? Will I be able to have children? Will God still take care of me?”
