We have all been impacted in some way with closures, employment, shortages of essential items and changed schedules. Panic and fear is a common response, but what is the best approach? This week we share some ideas and encouragement on #MondayMotivation.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
