How To Stay Positive And Keep Your Faith During Uncertain Covid Times
Sydneysiders find themselves in lockdown once again. The team at Veemance know all too well how hard being in lockdown can be with everyone facing their own set of challenges

So we thought we’d send you our love, prayers and a few ways we think you can stay positive, happy and full of energy during these uncertain times.
The first place to look for comfort, guidance and hope is God. Find ways you can get closer to Him during this time. These are the times where our faith will be tested but we can do so many things to remain strong. He is waiting just for you - so call on Him.
The Veemance team often attends an online church service at least once a week. Getting messages straight from the word of God is a great way to pave the week ahead with faith and positivity.
Find time on a daily basis to take out your Bible and read the scripture. Find versus that you can use to encourage you and give you strength during this lockdown and beyond.
Here are a few of our favourites:
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears
Psalm 34:4
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6
If you’re like most of us at Veemance, we love spending our cold winter evenings on the couch watching Netflix. Here are a few of our favourite spiritual/inspirational movies on Netflix:
⁃ God Calling
⁃ Paul, Apostle of Christ
⁃ An Interview with God
⁃ 90 Minutes in Heaven
There’s nothing like not being allowed to do the things we enjoy, which include a lot of places that are currently closed. Our Veemance members love to get out for walks, enjoying the fresh air and being out in nature whilst being safe, wearing masks and ensuring we practice social distancing and adhere to all the NSW lockdown rules and restrictions.
If you’re stuck indoors for the most part, we love to stay challenged; and puzzles, games and crossword puzzles are a great way to stay challenged whilst having fun. If you’re unable to get out to the shops to get your hands on a new puzzle or board game, there are plenty of puzzles you can enjoy online.
Check out a few online games you can enjoy here.
If you are feeling lonely, speak to a family member or a friend. We are surrounded by technology and most people are just a phone call away. At Veemance we love creating an online community where genuine connections are formed, so jump online and talk to someone new.
If you are struggling during this current lockdown, don’t be afraid to reach out.

Most importantly, reach for God. Look to Him. He is amazing and nothing that is happening is not part of His divine Plan. Trust Him and have Faith in Him.
Stay safe and God bless, from the Veemance team.
