Recovering From Our Weariness
Maybe the truest thing about two years is simply that it has caused unprecedented amounts of stress. We have been overwhelmed by everything that has happened, and continues to happen, and we have felt unable to cope with the emotional pressure of it all. For many of us, the stress of COVID has triggered anxiety like we've never known before. For others, it has manifested as an apathy, or a sense of disconnection from the things that usually bring us joy. We are exhausted, unmotivated, and empty. Where is God in the midst of all this stress? And how can we make it through the anxiety and apathy that COVID has inflicted on us?
