Even though life can get challenging sometimes, as Christians we must remember that Jesus is greater than every hardship; he is victorious over every pain. Never underestimate God's power to deliver us from fear.
Jesus did the same when he was tempted by the devil in the desert. Despite being the Son of God, He used the authority of the Scriptures, and prayed.
We should remind ourselves constantly that God is watching over His children. Keep the faith, and let God’s word ground you and remind you that you are way stronger than you think.
As George Bannoura, the co-owner of Bethlehem Handicrafts, mentioned in Business Brief when he was hosted by Ryan Frazier about how the local small business has kept the faith through the pandemic:
"We could not do it and pass it without our faith. Faith is everything. This is the essence of our life, so without faith, we will not make it ... together we will pass through it. And as I mentioned before, as a community back home, we've been through a lot of difficult times in history, the only thing we have that helps us pass through all the difficult times is our faith. Faith is everything."
