When the COVID-19 pandemic is not getting better, when our future is still uncertain, when we are overwhelmed by the suffering and pain that happens in this world, the Lord reminds us to be strong and courageous. Not because we're able to do so by ourselves, but only by His power that strengthens us. The Lord is the One who stands in front of us to protect and take care of us. We don't have to be afraid and lose hope. We can give our burdens to Him and He will comfort us; we can rest in Him. No one knows what their 2021 will be but everyone can come to God and let God take control of their future.
