PEACE IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC
Claim God’s Promises
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
1. Continue in Prayer
2 Chronicles 20:9 If, when evil cometh
upon us, as the sword, judgment, or
pestilence, or famine, we stand before
this house, and in thy presence, (for thy
name is in this house,) and cry unto thee
in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and
help.
2 Chronicles 20:12b neither know we
what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God. And
the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.
2. Consider God’s Peace
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind. Worry is
imagining the future without Christ.

because he trusteth in thee.

Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will
trust in thee.
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I
will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord
Jehovah is my strength and my song; he
also is become my salvation.
Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be
without covetousness; and be content
with such things as ye have: for he hath
said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee. So that we may boldly say, The
Lord is my helper, and I will not fear
what man shall do unto me.
4. Count Your Positives

Rejoice in the Lord. Thank God in the
midst of the trial.
Count your blessings. The best things in
life are not things. Home. Church. Hope
of heaven. Death
