Gospel Resources for the Midst of a Pandemic

In the midst of a very tumultuous season, our hearts can grow restless, and our minds wander into all sorts of questions: "Will my family be ok? Will they be safe from the Coronavirus? Will I be able to keep my job? Are we going to be financially stable?" If we are not careful, our anxious hearts can lead us to doubts and fears. How, then, are we to respond? Where do we go for comfort?
Psalm 119:50 tells us where: "This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life" (ESV). That word "promise" refers to the Scriptures. It is the Word of God that comforts us in the midst of an uneasy season. It alone has the power to revive our hearts and anchor our hearts in the true source of comfort, and our only hope, Jesus Christ.
Because of this, we have compiled a list of Bible-saturated resources that could help us to read and meditate on Scripture in the midst of this pandemic. Our hope is that your heart might be stirred to make the Word of God your refuge in the midst of a worrisome season.
