Online Resources for Your Soul

COVID-19 might have brought us anxiousness, restlessness, and panic, but Lord Jesus Christ has promised us peace: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” (John 14:27) Let’s ask the Lord to help us grasp His love and to share His love with those around us. Let our love and care be like the five loaves and two fish which can be used as blessings, support and encouragement to each other. “Focus On the Family” has great resources not only on family or parenting but for anyone who would like some support for their soul. It’d also be useful in pre-evangelism work as well. Focus On the Family: https://www.focusonthefamily.ca/life-challenges
