Coping Thoughts

This page is a testimony to how Christ strengthened us every day and brought us through the pandemic.

God  

of peace makes peace available to me every day; I just need to take it.

I will

be still in tribulations and let Christ fight for me.

I am

yoked with Christ therefore, I no longer carry my troubles he carries them for me.

My emotions 

are balanced because I chose to trust God to manage them for me.

My soul 

is fed on a diet of spiritual nourishment, I daily grow in faith and strength through Christ.

Good things 

will happen to me because God has planned for me to prosper, to not be harmed, to have hope and a future.  

The crisis 

of today won’t kill me, my resistance is in Christ.

 I choose

 to see these threats smaller than what God can do for me.

 I can handle 

the news of today, my eyes are fixed on Christ, my strength and my redeemer.

 I choose

 to not be anxious about my life, my work or my finances. 

God will supply all my needs. He is Jehovah Jireh.

 This time is 

an opportunity for me to come in a closer relationship with God.

I have 

survived many difficult experiences in my life with God’s help. He is still able to carry me through these horrible (pandemic) times. I will not doubt His divine power.

 My feelings 

are making me uncomfortable in this climate of fear, but I will push on trusting in God. Only He can stabilize my feelings and assure me of a better life in this world He's made.

I accept

 that these are chaotic times, but I will not let them steal my joy. God who knows all things, says weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Every morning I will go to my Heavenly Father in prayer and take the joy He offers me.

Fright 

comes and goes with the increase in bad news, but I will let the word of God come and stay in my heart. I will listen to the good news of God’s promises to keep my spirit at rest, and fill me with blessings.

This 

terrible season of virus threat won’t last forever, only God lasts forever!  He alone can take me through the flood without letting me drown.

  I 

will do 3 things on my own initiative to focus my attention on the joy of the Lord.

  I 

will visualize how God is able to rescue me in times of danger. I know following Christ is not walking on a smooth road in this world, but He empowers me to walk the road; He reveals knowledge and understanding to me so that wisdom can guide my thoughts, actions and words.

 When 

I feel down, I will think of the good times God has blessed me! He lifted me up out of challenges that I never thought I could overcome.

 When 

bad news tries to crush my spirit, I will think of the times when the Holy Spirit quickened me and assured me that “everything will be all right.”
