"In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe" Hebrews 1:1-2.
A lot of Christians want to hear God's voice. They want to get a word from God. And that is not so difficult. He speaks to you through Jesus. All of His words have been recorded by the apostles and his disciples in the New Testament, and you can apply each word that is written there to yourself. He spoke not only for those folks, but also for every generate that would ever come and every single human that is ever going to live. That includes you and me. The words of Jesus are a Supreme Court of the Universe. If you don't know how to deal with a certain issue from the perspective of the word of God, always consult the words of Jesus. Let the words be the lighthouse in the dark of the night. Build your spiritual house with the words that He said. Build your life on his words, and when the shaking comes (and it will) your house will stand. Nothing can withstand the shaking that eventually comes to everybody's life, but on the the houses that are built on the foundation formed with the words of Jesus. Let us build on the rock, not sand.

Who can be against us
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31.
In Christ, the enmity between us and God was broken. He took all the anger of God on Himself. He no longer holds anything against you. Furthermore, He is now for us. He fights for you. All the Trinity are working to help you. The Holy Spirit is helping you to pray, Jesus is at the right hand of the Father and interceding for you, and God the Father has made the whole plan of salvation of your soul. Only devil and you can be against you. But devil is no match for the Trinity. He is no match for God's angels. Imagine, such a great team doing something to bless you. Wow! You are so blessed. Thank Him for justification, salvation, and protection. You belong to God. Nobody can take you out of His hands.

God knows everything
"Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely" Psalms 139: 4.
Psalm 139 is one of the most amazing parts of the Scriptures for me. I enjoy reading it again and again. It shows that God knows every little detail about me, and He cares about me. He has a plan for me and you, He knows where you are now, all of your circumstances. He even knows what you are going to say before you have actually said it. Wow! Read for yourself, not just the 4th verse, but all of the psalm. It is a great encouragement. When things get out of control, just like things seem to be happening right now with the coronavirus (COVID 19), God knows what is happening, He cares, and is ready to help. Of course, the situation reminds us that nothing is stable in this world, and we have to go to God every day and pray to Him. Do not be afraid, because He is not going to leave you alone in hostile circumstances you maybe in. God bless. He knows every detail about you. Pray that His perfect will is established in your life.

When you are in the darkest valley
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;" Psalms 23:4.
On what base we should not be afraid? What is that logical argument to be fearless? I mean, there are all logical reasons to be afraid if you are going through the darkest valley. The main question is: are you walking alone? If yes, you have all the reasons to be afraid. If not, who are you walking with? Is it some fellow human? That might give you some extra courage, but it will fade away at the smallest challenge you face along the way. The only reliable companion on your walk that will cause you to feel safe is our God. If He is with you, you have no reason to fear. He can calm down any storm on your way, shine as the brightest light in your darkest valley, and even carry you on His hands if you cannot continue walking. Is He with you? If Jesus is your Lord, yes, He is. Praise God.

What governs your mind?
"The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace" Romans 8:6.
What you focus on will either bring you death or life. There are carnal things that express themselves trough lust of of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. These bring about spiritual death, anxiety, and a baggage of other harmful things. On the other hand, you can focus on the things of the Spirit. This includes thought on the 9 fruits of the Spirit, meditation on the Word of God, your daily devotions saturated with prayer and listening to what the Holy Spirit has to tell you. These daily devotions give you tremendous peace if you do it regularly, which I encourage you to do. You have a choice, use it to be governed by the Spirit of God. Peace be with you.

Holy Spirit does not make you a slave
"The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship" Romans 8:16.
God never leads you to bondage. He does not even cause you to fear. The fear of the Lord isn't a slaverish state that causes you to run away from Him. No, the work of the Spirit in you is that you want to get closer to Him. You are His son/daughter. You are the family of God. You are the citizen of the kingdom of Heaven. You should not be afraid, but come boldly to God with whatever question, request, prayer and etc. you might have. He is waiting for you as a father is waiting for his kids to come home. Take courage, and remember, He does not send fear to your heart. He sends peace, love, joy, and courage. Spend more time with the Holy Spirit to get more of the good stuff God has prepared for you. And get rid of fear. It is not your inheritance. The kingdom of God is!

"But if the Spirit of him
that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up
Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit
that dwelleth in you" Romans 8:11.
At times when we see the world being scared of the corona-virus we should raise our eyes towards God, as He is able to heal our bodies and protect them by the power of the Spirit that lives in us. Pray for the protection of the Holy Ghost at this time when panic is sweeping through the countries and trust in His mighty hand to protect you. If you believe in Christ, His Spirit is in you, and so you should believe His power to protect and to heal you. He wants to be your healer. Trust Him.
