Life in a Covid-19 World.

I remember how I first heard about Corona virus, how I wasn’t that paranoid because it was only in China. Then as day goes by my anxiety have been triggered due to the fear that the news has shared on social media and television. The virus that has made people sick and killed a lot in China has slowly spread in every country including here in Canada. Ever since the day the government had requested people to stay at home. We complied to it right away. My family and I had been very cautious about everything we touch and everything we bring in the house. There has come a time that I would yell every day with my son because he is having a hard time following and understanding why we need to wash our hands, why we need to take a bath, why he needs to stop putting his fingers or things on his mouth and why he needs to keep his hands to himself and not touching his or her sisters face. The anxiety that the virus has given me is really bad. Every day I felt guilty because of the way i’ve been to my son. Even my husband was affected because of my anxiety, but all I really want is to protect our family. Then one day I realized fear won’t help me save my family. So, everyday my husband and I would play Christian music on his Playstation. We would listen to preachings on youtube and even read the Bible. I would even share photos of Bible verses and prayers, one is this photo:

I've been a christian since I was a kid and sometimes we still feel fear and anxiety and that is okay because we are only human. But if we remind our self to cast out our anxiety, have faith and always pray even if we don't need anything that changes all the negative perspective to a positive one. Trully, trusting God gives our minds, our hearts and soul peace . Now, even with Covid-19 around us, I am able to enjoy life with my family. Although, sometimes I would still feel anxiety and that’s okay. I just pray right away. Now, life in a Covid world is not that hard anymore because the joy that God gives us after having faith with him is amazing.
