All of us have been adapting the best we can while taking steps for a new normal of life. We at April Sky Ministries have been doing the same and we too are adapting by finding new ways to help those who are filled with questions about life, God and other things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Getting encouragement to you and those you know is of the utmost importance to us. So, during this time of Covid-19 Crisis, we are offering a few special complimentary services that we know will calm your heart and help you connect with God. Learn more about us and our mission statement, visit About April Sky.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The following \"Escapes\" are currently being offered free of charge, but you must sign up, as there are limited slots available.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Tranquil Escapes ~ These are escapes that are very personal through texts, video links, and more, which you can receive by phone.

2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
8 You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.”
9 Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.
13 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!<\/p>\n
1) Read the Bible: When we read in the beautiful Book of Psalms, we will find God calms us, by His Word.
2) Pray for others: Ask others how you can pray for them and ask them to pray for you. When we start praying for those in worse off situations than ourselves, it occupies our minds and builds our faith.
3) Wait on the Lord: This is by no means easy but when we believe and trust that God's Timing is perfect, we realize that Jesus is in the same waiting room with us during the moments we need Him most, and we are not alone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
