Friends,

In all of this, let us hold one another in prayer and join together with the Psalmist:

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, And though the mountains tremble at the heart of the sea; Though the waters rage and swell And though the mountains quake at the towering seas. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
From Psalm 46
