Especially with this covid-19 pandemic. Heath and safety for ourselves, our families and our friends. Financial concerns, will I have a job, will my business survive, will I be able to make ends meat.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Our God is a living God and walks among us. Things were very much falling apart in Jesus time too. They told Jesus that they wouldn\u2019t abandon him. But Jesus knew that they would. Jesus took the weight of sin and worry on him.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>There will be troubles in this world. Jesus says, that I am with you. \u00a0There may be uncertainty in the world. Jesus says, I am the resurrection. You might think that all there is \u2013 is darkness. Jesus, says I am the Light, and I have overcome darkness.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The same power that raised Jesus from the dead will bring things to work for good in your life too. Jesus is with us wherever we go, whatever we are doing. Turn your worries and cares over to Jesus. The power of God that raised Jesus to new life, will raise us to new life too, in Him! We may run from Jesus, but Jesus stays close to us! Jesus is not distant from us, but Jesus is very close by. And he cares for us. He is the Light of the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s Peace,<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Joe Giordano<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O my soul,
