Yesterday my friend and I got in quite a conversation about fear and worry connected with the virus and quarantine.  There is the fear of getting sick,  the fear for the economy failing and the fear of loosing our freedoms.  This psalm resonated with me today.  I know the Lord will hear our prayers and is the only source of real peace. 



Psalms 18:4-6
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death aprevented me.

In my adistress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his btemple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

  1. Here is the Lord's answer from another psalm. "Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety." 4 3-8
