Defined as the capacity to recover quickly
Perhaps it comes naturally
Or it develops with experience
Either way, it’s a necessity for existence
When a pandemic hits our planet
Leaving us with the feeling of defeat
Nothing to do but socially distance
Running low on endurance,
Doing your best to be resilient
Resilience becomes your reinforcement
In times of anxiety
Feeling low and empty
Thoughts consume you
Trying to fight your way through
Uneasiness and worry take over
Needing resilience to tackle this monster
When millions of people are no longer employed
Suddenly life has a big void
Desperate for money and we plead
God gives us what we need
Our debts are paid by Jesus’ sacrifice
Resilience from salvation has no price
Our Heavenly Father sent His son
To free us, no longer do we need to run
The Word says “be strong and courageous”
Don’t give up ‘cos God is victorious
Seek your omnipotent creator
He will give you the resilience to conquer.
