I hope you’ve all been able to adjust to the new COVID-19 environment. It has affected all communities around the world like nothing else ever has. What is God doing? This is a question many are asking. I don’t have the answer, but I do know how He wants us…

“I have found that petty disappointments tend to accumulate over time, undermining my faith with a lava flow of doubt. I start to wonder whether God cares about everyday details — about me. I am tempted to pray less often, having concluded in advance that it won’t matter. Or will it? My emotions and…
