Outside there may be upheaval. But you can have peace and hope because God is near. Open God’s Word together and let biblical truth bring contagious calm to your household. May it start conversations that uplift you and your loved ones and strengthen your faith, so you can encourage friends and neighbors around you. What will God do in your family during this time?

These are unprecedented times – schedules are suddenly wide open and home, school and work are jumbled up like never before. What an opportunity to learn, play and grow with your children! They’re watching you and need you now more than ever. This topsy-turvy time can be a gift. Make the most of it by connecting with your kids in new, meaningful ways.

A crisis situation can bring you and your spouse together – or it can create stress and drive a wedge between you. Strained finances, a lack of intimacy and tense communication may be some of the challenges you face while you’re homebound. But the messiness of this moment can be the perfect season to serve your spouse and show him or her how much you cherish them.

We are living in a unique and unprecedented time. Many of us are feeling the weight of grief, loss and anxiety as we try to navigate daily news updates and this “new normal” of social distancing and self-isolation. But we want you to know there is hope and help available if you or a loved one is struggling.
