Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer. - Psalm 94:19 (TLB)
Normal.
Since 2020 the words “the new normal” have been drilled into our heads.
It seems that after any major event, everyone wants us to accept a “new normal”.
So, is returning home after a week away the “old normal” or the “new normal”?
Sometimes being away awakens new things in our souls that we want to keep as our new normal.
Other times trying to get back into the swing of things gives us more anxiety than when we were trying to leave.
It’s ok.
Lauren Daigle released this little gem called Be Okay in 2023, the lyrics are very much in line with how we need to think when the world becomes too much.
You're gonna be okay
You're, you're gonna be okay
Oh, the sun will keep on risin' in that old familiar way
And every little thing is gonna be okay
You're gonna be alright
Darlin', you're, you're gonna be alright
'Cause the stars'll keep on shinin' through the darkest night
And you can know you're gonna be alright
Lift your eyes to the hills
Remember where your help comes from
Lift your eyes to the hills
You'll never face a valley alone
'Cause even when your heart is breakin'
And you've gone and lost your way
You're, you're gonna be okay
You're gonna be okay
I know that you're, you're gonna be okay
Not a care in this whole world can take that truth away
You're, you're gonna be okay
You're gonna be alright
Darlin', you're, you're gonna be alright
At the end of all our breath, when we're beckoned on to the light
Love'll meet you there, you're gonna be alright
Oh, the end of all our breath is the beginning of new life
You're, you're gonna be alright
It’s ok.
I’m going to be ok.
You’re going to be ok.
If you have any doubts that you will be ok, listen to the song, or turn to your Bible.
When fear and anxiety become overwhelming, God will comfort you.
And you’re going to be ok.
