How do we cope with the fear that has encompassed our uncertain world in the past year? It is indisputable that life has changed dramatically during COVID 19. Will we ever return to a sense of normalcy? Do we even remember what normal was?
Fear can be a healthy emotion. I taught my children not to get in the street by telling them that they would be run over if the driver of a car did not see them or was going too fast. It kept them safe, and I have no regrets.
Fear can also paralyze us so that we are no longer able to enjoy life. Putting off medical tests and rescheduling doctor appointments can be life-threatening. Suicide and mental health issues arise from too much isolation.
That decision will look different to each of us. Some will not venture out of the house without a mask; others have never put one on, nor will they. Some will rush to take the vaccine; others will never agree.
I recently saw a television show where the main characters had to accept that there will always be something for us to fear. It may be the next new virus, the political situation, or an illness close to home. In human terms, we can be consumed by our fears whether they are rational or not.
I take great comfort in knowing that my God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He has told me He has my name written on the palm of His hand. He will not leave nor forsake me. Faith is a choice. Will I tempt God by disregarding safety measures? The answer is a definite “no.” Will I be paralyzed by the “science?” That too is “no.”
There comes the point when we must face our fears and trust God for the outcome. That does not mean we will not take precautions, but we will use reason instead of emotion. We must find a happy medium between isolation and resuming a meaningful life in today’s world.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power
and love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV
