If there’s one thing we’ve learned from mission work, it’s this: God is still in control. Through wars, revolutions, dictatorships, and even pandemics, God always has and always will have the last say. While we may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or fearful, God is steadfast, loving, and faithful. https://teamexpansion.org/stillincontrol/#section2

Father, cause us all to turn to You and trust You as our always present help in troubled times. Take away fear and anxiety. You are in control, even when the earth shakes, when the mountains fall, when the seas roar, and when disease covers the land. You are with us!
