So many of you struggle with worried thoughts. This is easy to do when times are uncertain and we feel a loss of control. But during challenging times, we want to live in God’s peace no matter the circumstances. Thus, we need a prescription for letting go of those worried thoughts: First, identify the thought…

This past week has been challenging when it comes to fear and anxiety. People don’t know what to really expect with the spread of the coronavirus. Travel and events are cancelled.
