Now in the year 2020, the Pandemic era has hit hard for so many people due to the number and rapid spread of the Covid-19 Virus in different parts of the world, many people today are affected by its economic crisis. There are other people who are not particularly affected, especially the rich, because they may have needs or have ready-made needs in their home for themselves or for their loved ones, such as food, clean water, money to pay bills even if they do not work for a few months or years because they are ready for any disaster and crisis that comes or goes.
What the WHO say?
According to the WHO or World Health Organization, "The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems, and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year." This is according to their report on Oct. 13, 2020. So if your one of those who are said to be affected by the pandemic. You may also be one of those who experienced depression or hopelessness in life.
Is there any hope?
Everyone always has Hope, it is not just a saying, it is the truth, whoever does not give up on this battle always has the hope to achieve. This is the good news, I will tell you today. If you believe in God you should not lose hope, if the things you see around you such as living people, animals, plants, and many other creatures remain. Are you still in need of something he can't give you? He is the God who created, God gives the air we breathe, the plants we eat, the water we drink, he all sustains it to people and this is what I want you to notice and not just the bad things that happen around.
What Evidence that Every Man Has Hope in Life.
If you are a Christian and you read the Bible, or if you are not a Christian, but you want to read the Bible, or you are a person who does not really read the Bible, I would like to encourage you to read some bible verses that will help you to lose your feeling of depression and anxiety in life. Reduce your worries and you will have new hope not only for you but also for your loved ones.
Read this:
Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:
Matthew 10:30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matthew 10:31 Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
the verse says that two sparrows (A kind of bird) are sold in a dozen, they will fall to the ground if God wills. And in the next 2 verses, it is shown that man is more important, especially if he is a good person in the Eye of God because he will not neglect it because man is more important than many sparrows.
Matthew 6:31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Matthew 6:32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Philippians 4:6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
It can remove our problems, depression, worries, it is the great Mercy and Help of God who created everything. As the verse says, do not worry about what to eat, drink, wear, why? Because God knows we need it, he is like our parents who care about the needs of his children. All we have to do is call on God in fervent prayer to him, say your cries like a righteous son who cries out to his Father. And as you first, remember God created so many beautiful things, is it difficult for him to grant your requests? Always not, but you also need to show him that he is the only one you can count on in life and uniquely will give you peace. Do not go through any saints. Pray directly to the Father in heaven in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, and he will hear you.
I am not a Pastor or a Religious leader, I just want to share this because it is my experience. I also used to go through a severe depression in life, losses, and sadness, but by the grace of God, I overcame it all. I believe God can answer the questions that no human being can answer, and he can help us when we have no one else to turn to.
So, should a Christian have Depression and Anxiety at this time, during the Pandemic era? Now we know the answer to this question. "No".
