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.

    Please pray for healthcare workers who are working long hours and who are managing multiple priorities that are changing every hour.

    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!

      Yes, thank you Rae for the reminder of ALL the people doing dangerous work right now. Thank you for serving them by sewing masks. Blessings to you!

On Substack today: how the testimony of women book On Substack today: how the testimony of women bookends the Gospel story--from Mary to Mary Magdalene. Plus, New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham's book on how the Gospel writers relied on eyewitness testimony. Does this matter for women today? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
