Printable Scripture Promises for Dark Days

Friends, I’m a little freaked out if I’m being honest. The coronavirus has even reached our little town with a confirmed case yesterday. Universities are shut down and I have a hunch that our public schools are next.

BUT GOD is reminding me that I know what to do with fear. My pastor sent out an email today filled with Scripture and I was reminded that God knows my fear and He speaks the language of peace.

I remembered this “dark days” Scripture set that I created years ago but don’t have listed in my shop anymore. It’s full of Scriptures that seem timely.

I’m sharing this printable Scripture set with you in the hopes that God’s word will wrap us up in His peace, the kind of peace that guards our hearts against the onslaught of anxiety.

You can download the file HERE or by clicking the image below.

You can also check out these coloring pages + card sets for talking to kids about scary things:
Psalm 63:7
Faith over Fear
Romans 8:38-39
Psalm 94:19
The “anxious heart” set
Psalm 23 set
The “comfort and hope” set

Would you comment below if there is something I can pray for you during this time? How is this virus impacting you and your community? I’d love to know practical ways God is leading you to help.

    Because I love to sew, I have been sewing face masks for the first responders in our area. The filter inside is a sized-down coffee filter. I am using some of my material that I would have used for a future quilt. It is the list that I can do for those who are risking their lives taking care of others. Please add ALL health care workers to the prayer list. This includes the people who clean the rooms, empty the trash, cook the food, etc. We are all in this together!!

    Your website and blog help to keep me grounded. Thank you!

Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

SEARCH THE BLOG

If you look up artwork or movies featuring Mary Ma If you look up artwork or movies featuring Mary Magdalene, you’ll often find her depicted as a penitent woman or as sexualized, with her clothes literally falling off her body. It was Pope Gregory the Great who proposed that Mary Magdalene’s seven demons represented the seven deadly sins and that she was both a prostitute and the penitent sinner who anoints Jesus in Luke 7:36-50 (Jennifer Powell McNutt).

Later church historians assumed that Mary Magdalene’s great sins were to blame for her demon possession (McNutt). While the Western Church came to see Mary Magdalene as a prostitute and a great sinner, the Eastern Orthodox church honored her as the leader of the “myrrh-bearing women” (Taylor and Bond).

🌸 Part 1 of the Mary Magdalene study is up on Substack. Have you ever heard that she was a prostitute? Where did that come from? Is it Biblical? I was fascinated by how her story has been told through history, the origins of her name, what it means that she had been possessed by seven demons, and her place among Jesus’ disciples.

When I started writing the Jesus Speaks to Women B When I started writing the Jesus Speaks to Women Bible studies last year, I started collecting books on New Testament women. I really didn’t know where to start at first. I wasn’t familiar with the scholarship about women in the Bible, and I hadn’t even heard of any female theologians doing this work!

So you don’t have to start from scratch if you’re like I was, I’m going to share a list of books I’ve learned from in the last year. Some are more academic than others, but all have been helpful.
