The 20 Bible Verses you Need for the COVID-19 Pandemic

 Are you feeling depressed about the COVID-19 situation? Is your mind tired of all the stress and anxieties brought by the pandemic? In this crisis, many people raised their awareness physically and mentally as they became more aware of the dangers of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. However, within this chaos lies an aspect in our life that we should hold on and develop as we face this global problem. 

It is our SPIRITUAL ASPECT—the aspect where the responsibility of taking care of our soul lies. A healthy spiritual life will contribute significantly to every person, both physically and mentally. It will help us ease all our anxieties and worries about the future. It will boost our physical condition, knowing that we have someone great and almighty that we can rely on. It is the strength of our faith and personal connection with God.

Together with it is His words and works written within the Holy Bible. According to Billy Graham, the Bible is not an option. It is a necessity. Especially in this period of despair and fear, we need His words as food for our soul. Here are the following Bible verses that can help you face the threat and effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Psalm 23:1-6

Matthew 10:29-31

“That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Lamentations 3:21-23

“For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.”

Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider, and decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’ Then David said to Gad, ‘I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.’”
