Has the pandemic affected your religious or spiritual observance in any way? If so, talk about it.

In some ways yes--<strong>I have always trusted that God has a bigger purpose for this pandemic.</strong> At the end of the day, I know there is something good coming out of it and that God is in control. <strong>As much as people might deny God's sovereignty, we ARE leading up to the end times--whether its this year, or in a thousand years.</strong> Knowing that, and that God is in full control of what will happen in the end times, has been incredibly humbling and hope giving during the pandemic. <strong>I have had such moments of reverence and have learned to appreciate God and His glory in all circumstances.</strong> In the Bible, Paul writes that we should consider all suffering joy--and I do (or at least am working towards it, with the Holy Spirit). Jesus is good-He has saved me from an eating disorder, depression, and self-loathing. <strong>Despite the bleak circumstances and my own emotional and physical pain, and doubt, and failure to have faith, GOD is GOOD.</strong>
