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.<br />It holds back the floodwaters.<br />It converts them into power.<br />This is my prayer:<br />Lord cause the flood of the enemy to cease. Hold it back. Stop it in its tracks.<br />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. — Rachel Starr Thomson</p>
