To the Temporary Residents in a Time of Coronavirus Seeking an Eternal Weight of Glory

<p>“I see a dam. It is golden and glistening like a great solid gate in a canyon.</p><p>It holds back the floodwaters.</p><p>It converts them into power.</p><p>This is my prayer:</p><p>Lord cause the flood of the enemy to cease. Hold it back. Stop it in its tracks.</p><p>And convert the surge into power. The power of love of gospel of the Spirit of God.”</p><p>This short book is my offering to my brothers and sisters in Christ in a time of unusual crisis—a reminder of who we are and what truly matters based on the themes of 1 Peter.</p><p>--Rachel Starr Thomson</p>
