Even after many weeks of living through the Covid 19 Pandemic we feel a deep sense of precarious­ness in the face of it. We realise how vulnerable we are to outbreaks of infectious diseases.

We wait patiently for hope to spring from our life of ‘social distancing’ and ‘self-isolation’. This truth is even amidst struggles and pain God invites us to see his light and know his peace.

God provides us help through NHS and other profession­als. It is important that we seek appropriat­e help. Still it cannot be denied that the patients having faith in God have immensely benefited from it. In fact, both - medical help and prayer should go hand in hand.

Learning to trust God on the most difficult days of our lives is not easy. But knowing that God has a plan and purpose for you helps immensely.

God in Christ has not promised a painless, strugglefr­ee life. Neverthele­ss, when we put our trust in God, He even uses the struggles we go through to draw us closer to himself.
