One of the best things we can do while battling Covid or the fear of Covid is to turn to the Lord. It sounds cliche to tell people to read your Bible and pray every day, but that old adage truly is helpful. On the WayFM Prayer Wall, fear is everywhere concerning Covid. It isn’t just fear of the virus itself, but fear of financial loss, fear of quarantine, fear of conflict, fear of not making the right decisions for your family. It is in this fear that we need to find our comfort in the Bible.
