  <description>Today we are wrapping up this special series focused on fighting for joy in the midst of the current coronavirus pandemic.  I hope that it has inspired you and given you practical ways to keep pressing on through these weird and uncertain days. As you listen to this episode, may you be reminded that our ultimate hope and joy needs to be found in something, actually Someone, who is much greater than merely having our lives go back to “normal”.  A relationship with the Lord is truly better than anything else this world has to offer, even a post-pandemic world.  It is in Him that we can experience real joy, even in the midst of hard circumstances.   So, its fitting that we conclude this covid series today with Part 3: Fighting for Joy by Connecting with God.   
Whether it be more time in prayer, in the Bible, or in reflection and stillness, many of you have been quieting your soul and mind to focus on God’s character; His sovereignty, goodness, and consistency - focusing in on Who is in control when everything feels so out of control!  When things feel different than what we are used to and plans, regulations, and even the understanding of this virus is constantly changing, there is great peace to be found in remembering that HE is unchanging.  We can rejoice that God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.  When we don’t know what, or even who to believe, we can experience real comfort and hope knowing that He can be counted on and fully trusted. 
Again, thanks for participating!  I absolutely loved doing this project together as a community. There is certainly not one way to persevere in joy through this crisis.  As I’ve said throughout this series, my hope is that as we share various ideas and tools, we will all become better equipped to keep fighting, even with our different wirings and unique situations.  I love how we can spur each other on and keep pressing through this season together with hope, with peace, with joy, and with one another.
