What we can do, how we can react

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: The righteous man runs into it and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10)

 What we can do, how we can react when trying to stay positive just isn’t enough.
 - Keep praying: As believers, we look up. We seek God through prayer and trust in His sovereignty. Scripture tells us that prayer is one of our most powerful resources. Ask God’s Holy Spirit to help you.
 - Immerse yourself in God’s Word: When you feel as if your very soul hurts from news reports of disaster, spread of disease, and death, you can find a place of refuge in God’s Word.
 - The gift of hope: God will not only fulfill His promises in His time, but He will also sustain us. This is the promise we have of His protection, comfort, strength, and shelter throughout our lives.
 - Guard your heart: Even though it’s important to stay informed about the latest developments, especially in time of crisis, nevertheless information overload and repeated scenes of graphic images from tragic events on TV or social media can have a negative influence.
 - Care for others: You can support others who experience loss or who may be going through a personal crisis by lending a helping hand. Even a smile, a friendly comment, a small deed of kindness, or showing some form of camaraderie can go a long way toward cheering a lonely soul. — Iris Richard [1] Anchor
