My anxiety has been through the roof this past week since I first heard about the Ebola outbreak. My husband and mother tried to reassure me that it would never make it's way here (US). Then last night I had a dream that it was here and not in isolation like the ones they brought back and sure enough I hear about the possible one in NY. Then tonight I got bit by a mosquito and all I can think is getting West Nile Virus. I probably wouldn't be so worried about these things if I wasn't so far from God. I haven't went to church in about 8 months. I did do a women's bible study, but after that I haven't touched my Bible and that was probably about 3 months ago. My prayer life is almost nonexistent. I feel no desire to go to church or watch sermons online. Slowly I drifted from God I guess. I think back 7 years ago when I asked Jesus into my life and now and I am just so far I don't even know if I could make it back if I wanted to. I just feel nothing and that in itself should be worrisome. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I'm sorry about your anxiety. I live NY and it worries me too because when you work with the public you Hebert know who or what you're coming into contact with but keep your faith and know that we're far better able to deal with this here than in Africa.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

Praying that God ministers to you as only He can and praying that the outbreak is controlled, and praying for the protection of all of us including all in Africa.
