It is natural to feel distraught, anxious and overwhelmed when facing a crisis. Yes, Jesus offers us peace in the midst of any storm. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 40:10). What a treasure to not that we don’t face crises alone, that God is with us and will give us wisdom and strength for our journey. Additionally, He will strengthen us to face our adversaries or the challenges ahead.
