The fierce battle between fear and faith is often highlighted in times of uncertainty. Thankfully, fear of the unknown no longer has to inhibit us.

Welcome to the first Magnify Mondays Online.

As the world grapples with the COVID-19 emergency, collective anxiety is spreading across our communities. Life as we know it is being disrupted. The new habits we foster in this pause hold a promise of more.

When life brings unexpected circumstances, whether long-term or short, it can be easy to feel like we’ve lost our sense of direction and control. But in these moments there is an opportunity to find a motivation that goes beyond the everyday and stands firm in the face of adversity.

Even though at this time we may all be self-isolating and staying clear from being in large groups, that shouldn't stop us experiencing church and worshipping. Whether this is your first time experiencing a church service or your hundredth, bring some routine to your Sunday’s at home and join a service.  The churches listed below aren’t an exclusive list but are some that we at Magnify are familiar with and that we hope you can join in with.

As passionate and driven women, it can be easy to get agitated when our prayers, hopes and dreams don’t come to fruition quickly or when our plans are halted for reasons out of our control. For our Magnify Mondays back in August, Susan Deborahs gave us some great insights as to how we can learn to trust God during these seasons of waiting and how He proves His faithfulness time and time again.

When facing a time of change, uncertainty and insecurity, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and sometimes helpless, and it is ok to feel these ways. In periods of darkness when our external world feels in turmoil, there are things we can focus on to find peace.

In these uncertain times, it can be so easy to focus on what we don’t know and what is happening around us. However, we can remind ourselves that this is temporary and we have a God who cares for us and has never, and will never abandon us. Here are some bible verses that we hope will bring you peace and strength in these coming weeks.

Pain is an inevitable part of life. We have treatments for physical pain and mental pain, what about how to process emotional pain?
