每天早晨都是新的；祢的信实多么广大！

看着血氧数不断下降，阿玉（化名）的心也不住地往下沉……

这些年来，阿玉常到一些办公室当清洁工，挣取几百元的收入。十一年前在女儿出生之际，丈夫却因心脏病逝世。那段艰苦的日子，阿玉唯有咬紧牙关，独自将女儿抚养长大。十一年过去，借着新港浸信会社区中心7979全人关怀站带来吗哪食物包的援助，阿玉母女可谓过着踏实安稳的生活。而今遇上冠病来袭，工作量和薪资都被削减。除了生活费，房贷和女儿的教育费都在追赶着阿玉，就连病毒也朝她追来。

阿玉在工作的地方不幸感染冠病。当志工们得知后，便第一时间送上血氧仪和中药。起初，阿玉担心家中女儿，不愿到医院接受治疗。在志工们派发吗哪包并与亲戚安顿好女儿后，阿玉总算是安心入院。而在诊治的过程中，阿玉的情况一度让志工们担心不已。看着血氧数不断下降，阿玉的心也不住地往下沉。但犹如家人般的志工们却未曾离开，反而以祷告来与阿玉并肩作战。阿玉虽然信心不足，但是借着志工们的鼓励，她也学会坚持祷告。

不久后，阿玉的治疗总算告一段落，但出院后情况并不乐观。基于阿玉本身有三高，冠病的侵入带来的创伤更大，这样的情况让志工们十分焦急。虽然志工是给予救助的一方，但实际上他们也感受到自己的渺小无助，也需要借着祷告寻求帮助。随着时间的淡去，阿玉的病情总算也褪去。看见恢复健康的阿玉，这一刻志工压抑已久的泪水终究忍不住留下来。

走过患难的阿玉，如今对神有更深的信心，每一天对她来说都是新的，即便是个简单的早餐，都让阿玉不禁发出赞叹。这是一趟信心的旅程，不仅是阿玉，对志工们来说，何尝不是一件经历神信实的事呢？

They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness!

Staring at the declining blood oxygen level, Judy’s (pseudonym) heart sank ...

Over the years, Judy often worked as a cleaner at some offices, earning a few hundred ringgits for a living. When her daughter was about to be born 11 years ago, her husband died of a heart attack. Judy went through really tough times and raised her daughter alone. Judy and her daughter managed to cope with their everyday life with the assistance of Manna Food Bag brought by Pusat Baptist Sungai Ara 7979 Holistic Care Station. However, her peaceful days were disrupted by the pandemic; Judy’s workload and salary had both been reduced. In addition to the living expenses, housing loan and her daughter’s education expenses which were pushing her to the brink, she also had to ward off the Coronavirus.

Judy was infected with Covid19 at the workplace. When the volunteers learned about her predicament, they immediately delivered oximeters and Chinese medicine to her house. At first, Judy refused to go to the hospital for treatment for fear of leaving her daughter at home alone. After the volunteers delivered the Manna Food Bag and made arrangement to leave her daughter under the care of relatives, Judy was finally admitted to the hospital with peace of mind. From diagnosis to treatment, Judy's situation was worrying. Staring at the declining blood oxygen level, Judy’s heart sank. The volunteers—who were like family members to Judy—never left her hospital bed; instead, they fought the virus alongside Judy through prayers. With the encouragement of the volunteers, Judy also learned to pray unceasingly even though she always lacked confidence.

Soon, Judy's treatment finally came to an end. Unfortunately, her health condition after she was discharged from the hospital was not optimistic. Since Judy has high blood pressure, high blood glucose and high blood lipid, the damage to her health caused by the Coronavirus was even greater. The volunteers were very anxious about Judy’s health condition. Although volunteers were tasked to offer help, at times they might also felt small and helpless and needed people to pray for them. Gradually, Judy returned to health. Seeing that Judy had finally recovered, the volunteers could no longer hold back the tears they had been suppressing for a long time.
​
Judy, who has gone through many tribulations in life, now has a stronger faith in God. Every day is new to her and even a simple breakfast can make Judy feels grateful. For Judy, this is a journey of faith; but for the volunteers, is this not a journey of experiencing God’s faithfulness?
