When the storms of life blow, I’m not simply content to weather the storm. I feel something that rises up within me, something that earnestly desires to Fight Back. I believe it is the same spirit that Christ had. The spirit of an Overcomer. The spirit of someone who is more than a conqueror. As Christians I do not believe we are just to weather storms, but to speak out over the roaring thunder, the crackling lightning, and tumultuous waters and declare: “Peace. Be still.” This Book is the result of a desire to fight back in opposition to the attack against humanity known as Covid-19.

Dear Friend Life as we know it is under siege. The coronavirus pandemic has our world in turmoil. Hundreds of thousands have been infected, the death toll is rising daily. Fear and
panic have gripped the hearts and minds of people every- where. Our lives have been brought to a standstill.
Thousands of businesses have closed their doors. Several states have been locked down. Our economy is in a state of crisis. But as a Christian you have a hope that the world does not understand. Jesus has promised you that He would never leave you or forsake you. No matter how grim things may look, no matter how dire your personal situation, I have good news for you. God has your back. He will sustain you; He will help you, He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Put your trust in Him. Don’t panic, don’t be fearful. Be assured that somehow, someway with God’s help you are going to make it through this crisis. He will give you peace in the midst of the storm, he will give you joy in the midst of uncertainty, He will give you the fortitude and power to endure and to overcome anything that comes your
way. Instead of filling your mind with hours of news chan- nels direct your attention to the Word of God. Meditate on
His promises. Be diligent to spend time in prayer and worship. In His Word and in His presence, you will find the strength, courage, and hope that you need to rise above the
fear, worry and anxiety. Panic will be replaced with a stal- wart faith and an enduring trust in God that is unshakeable.
With God nothing is impossible. We shall overcome! —Jake & Keith
