The Souljourner by Mutiara

▶️ I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.” You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear"

Fear that we have brought disaster upon ourselves is  a heavy burden. Because of God’s unfailing love for us, we don’t have to carry that weight. We can find rest in the comfort of His love. | KUMBATI - keep on pressing on

Grieving of losses and facing our fears is emotionally draining. No wonder we feel overwhelmed! But we can be confident in this: God hears our distress and offers us his presence. | KUMBATI - keep on pressing on

When we’re used to depending on our own ability and power to feel safe, we may feel especially vulnerable when a disaster takes that control away. But while we’re powerless to help ourselves, God, the creator of the heavens and the earth, remains powerful and good. | KUMBATI (to keep on pressing on)

We had heard that COVID-19 could be bad, but we never imagined a global pandemic would be like this for us, our family, and our community. But we aren't alone in our suffering. | KUMBATI (to keep on pressing on)
