Suffering in Isolation Part 2 The Outpouring
-
- Christianity
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused lockdowns and isolation around the globe. Here in the United States, it has led to an increase in anxiety and depression across demographics, including children, youth, young adults and seniors. The emotional distress that adversely effects children because of a lack of social interaction, at times leads to sadness and agitation. Suicide rates are higher than they have been in 50 years. We need coping mechanisms that are both biblical and practical. Fear of contracting the virus coupled with fatigue of sheltering in place, has unleashed risky behavior among young adults in particular. How do we endure this very real pandemic? It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:26
Dr. Gillian Grannum joins Pastor Oliver in conversation around this issue so that we can find joy even in this protracted pandemic, where surges seem to move across the country. As always we can take solace in the word of God as we live faithfully and responsibly.
