Read 1 Peter 5:8-11 (https://bit.ly/2yZ6MS5)

One of my biggest struggles – always, but especially during this current crisis – is distraction, allowing my focus to be side tracked. During World War II, Britain was facing the Blitz; London and all of southern England were within range of Germany’s bombers. Posters were printed with the phrase “keep calm and carry on.” There would be temporary hardship, food shortages, and separation, but there was an enemy that needed to be defeated, and they mustn’t take their eyes off that. Neither should we. Satan is our enemy and is seeking those whom he can devour. If we believe in Jesus Christ, Satan cannot steal us from God’s family, but he can try his best to make us miserable, and when we allow him to distract us, we’re not sharing the message of God with the people around us. And, friends, they need to hear it! Stand firm in your faith and carry on.
