I shared this in the Current News section. But I am sharing it here so that people could pray.

"All three teachers wore masks and gloves, used hand sanitizer and socially distanced, but still got sick according to school officials at the small community in the eastern part of the state."

Three Arizona teachers who shared a classroom got coronavirus. One of them died

This is scary. You can still get sick, while wearing masks and gloves and washing hands. But I also wear a face shield. I hope that helps a lot. This scaring me even more. I have so much anxiety. It scares me. My mom doesn't practice social distance, and I am unwilling to see her or be around her as a result. She doesn't think it is a big deal.

I am having a hard time of thinking about others. I only think about myself because I am scared. I get so angry with my neighbors that want to talk to me and even hug me. My neighbor who is lonely wants to hang out with me, and I can't do it. I want to scream at my neighbors, "WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC, SO STOP APPROCHING ME!!!!!"

I don't know how to deal with this fear. I hate shopping, which I have to do for we don't have delivery service here, because some people don't respect the social distancing rules. But then again, from this article, that may not always work.

Please pray

Update: I recognize that I made this all about me, which was wrong. I should have said please pray for their families. Like I said, I have become very selfish.

Think we have to be aware of our surroundings but try not to be fearfu. Blecause that's not the way God wants us to live. Psalms 91 is being read and spoken. I think of the thousands in that Scripture as referring to spirits.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Hi Jesse, I understand the concern. I'm having to be especially cautious since I have an elderly parent living with me. Right in the middle of this she broke her hip and had to go to hospital - worse place to be! Several days there and then to rehab - both places had covid-19 in the midst. Sometimes we just have to cast our cares upon the Lord and trust him.

casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
