We are living in difficult times. Many are being tested beyond their capacity to endure. Although there is no declaration yet from the government, sometimes it feels like we are in a state of calamity. But, through faith in Jesus Christ, these times can also be our greatest opportunity. How can we live in such a way that people will ask us about our reason or reasons for hope?

Is it really possible to overcome our fears, worries, and anxieties? Are these just given realities that we cannot escape? The apostle John tells us otherwise. According to him, we can overcome our fears, worries, and anxieties only through God's perfect love. How does that happen?

There's pain, suffering, and death all around us because of the pandemic. But now it's getting too close and personal. Some of our loved ones and close friends, and even some of us, have been infected by the virus and are now in the hospital fighting for their/our lives. Some have died already. We can't help but feel fear, worry, and anxiety creeping into our hearts. So, we ask ourselves, "What if it happens to us, to me, to my loved ones and friends?"

15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect... (1 Peter 3:15)

To hear God clearly, you need to focus on the movements of your soul in the presence of the Lord.

Many people are not aware of the availability of God's power for those who believe. They are also unfamiliar with its nature. Consequently, many do not experience its reality in their lives. More often than not, they rely solely on their own power or the power of others, both of which are nothing compared to the power of God. Why is this so? Interestingly, it is because we don't understand the nature of our own power.

One area that has been severely disrupted by the pandemic is the field of education. Teachers, students, as well as parents have all been affected. Everyone is now stressed out about education because of technical challenges, distractions, time management issues, motivational concerns, and uncertainty about the future. How can we face and overcome these challenges?

The reality of the pandemic is getting closer to home. More and more of our loved ones and friends are either getting sick or dying because of the virus. How can we cope? There are some who would challenge us to have more faith. But the pain can be too much to bear. Is it possible to grieve and yet still have hope to carry us through?
