Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible

'I’m a GP. At the moment, we are generally not having face-to-face contact with patients, though we are still seeing patients on video calls and on the telephone. The phone never stops ringing. Patients who were suffering with mental health problems before, are now more worried, and others are finding that the claustrophobia and isolation of lockdown is causing mental health problems.
'I think that, if it wasn’t for knowing the Lord, I would be much more concerned for my own health. You take proper measures, but when you are just able to know that the Lord is in control and that whether you get the infection, or die, it’s all in the Lord’s hands, that takes some of the anxiety away.
'Romans 8:31-32 has been speaking to me over recent weeks. It says, ‘What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Certainly not God, who did not even keep back his own Son, but offered him for us all! He gave us his Son – will he not also freely give us all things?’ What’s wonderful about God’s word is that it gives you perspective. It grounds you.
'This passage gives me perspective, a sense of God’s calling and therefore that my identity is in him. As a health worker, it’s easy to pat ourselves on the back for what we are doing. But this reminds me that God has called me to be where I am and it’s his strength that enables me to do it. It’s an amazing passage that shows me his love.
'It also reminds me that sin is the greatest problem we face, not Covid-19. That’s helped me see a bigger picture than what we’re experiencing right now. It’s helped me to remember to draw near to God in his word, which I do first thing in the morning. It sets me up for the day.'
'Meddyg teulu ydw i. Ar hyn o bryd, nid ydym at ei gilydd yn cael cyswllt wyneb yn wyneb â chleifion, er ein bod yn dal i weld cleifion ar alwadau fideo ac ar y ffôn. Nid yw'r ffôn byth yn stopio canu. Mae cleifion oedd yn dioddef o broblemau iechyd meddwl o'r blaen, bellach yn pryderu mwy, ac mae eraill yn darganfod bod clawstroffobia ac arwahanrwydd y cloi’n achosi problemau iechyd meddwl.
Credaf, oni bai am adnabod yr Arglwydd, byddwn yn poeni llawer mwy am fy iechyd fy hun. Rydych chi'n cymryd mesurau cywir, ond pan fyddwch chi'n gwybod mai'r Arglwydd sy'n rheoli ac os ydych chi'n cael yr haint, neu'n marw, mae'r cyfan yn nwylo'r Arglwydd, mae hynny'n cymryd peth o'r pryder i ffwrdd.
Mae Rhufeiniaid 8: 31-32 wedi bod yn siarad â mi dros yr wythnosau diwethaf. Mae'n dweud, ‘O ystyried hyn oll, beth a ddywedwn? Os yw Duw trosom, pwy sydd yn ein herbyn? Nid arbedodd Duw ei Fab ei hun, ond ei draddodi i farwolaeth trosom ni oll. Ac os rhoddodd ei Fab, sut y gall beidio â rhoi pob peth i ni gydag ef?’ Yr hyn sy’n rhyfeddol am air Duw yw ei fod yn rhoi persbectif i chi. Mae'n eich daearu chi.
Mae'r darn hwn yn rhoi persbectif i mi, yr ymdeimlad o alwad Duw ac felly bod fy hunaniaeth ynddo ef. Fel gweithiwr iechyd, mae'n hawdd canmol ein hunain am yr hyn rydyn ni'n ei wneud. Ond mae hyn yn fy atgoffa bod Duw wedi fy ngalw i fod lle rydw i a'i gryfder ef sy'n fy ngalluogi i wneud hynny. Mae'n ddarn rhyfeddol sy'n dangos ei gariad i mi.
Mae hefyd yn fy atgoffa mai pechod yw'r broblem fwyaf sy'n ein hwynebu, nid Covid-19. Mae hynny wedi fy helpu i weld darlun mwy na'r hyn rydyn ni'n ei brofi ar hyn o bryd. Mae wedi fy helpu i gofio nesáu at Dduw yn ei air, a dyna rwyf yn ei wneud y peth cyntaf yn y bore. Mae'n rhoi sail i mi ar gyfer y diwrnod'.
