"We really ascended above the fear and worry"

I received a practice call last year during the initial phase of the pandemic when the fear seemed so real. The patient was crying and said in a trembling voice that she had tested positive for COVID. They said she was asymptomatic but would have to tell them who she had associated with and then quarantine for 15 days.  I paused and listened for God’s guidance.  I told her that asymptomatic meant that she had no symptoms, and she replied that she understood that to be true; but that she was concerned about those with whom she had associated.  As God’s calm spirit settled on my thinking, I told her that there would be no repercussions from her associations with others.  

The next fifteen days we did a wonderful and inspired study in the Concordance of the references on disease and contagion in Mrs. Eddy’s writings.  We really ascended above the fear and worry.  

She did not suffer at all.  Best of all she stopped being worried about others.
