We are in very difficult times as I write this post. The entire world is impacted by COVID-19 in one way or another. At this very moment, I am on Day 9 of being on lockdown in my house, away from my job and my students. And when I watch or read the news, it is nearly impossible not to become anxious, worried, and scared. But gratefully, we, as Christians, have a guidebook telling us what to do when these feelings arise and encouraging us to keep going. Here are my favorite 25 Bible verses for when I have anxiety, worry, fear, and nervousness. What are your favorite scriptures during times like these? Leave a comment at the end of this post.
