Nobody would blame you for suffering from fear and anxiety during this time. Maybe you’re wondering where your next paycheck will come from. Or maybe you’ve had contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19. Will you end up quarantined from your spouse or kids like a friend of mine whose son is a paramedic? He treated a patient later diagnosed with COVID-19 who, sadly, passed away from the disease. He could only see his family on a computer screen for 2 weeks! Add the media into the mix and it’s no wonder why mental health professionals are overwhelmed with patients right now.
If you feel fear and anxiety during this time, I understand. I feel it too. The goal is that it doesn’t ruin our lives and rob us of the joy that God gave us.
