God can answer nation’s prayers

Our country is experiencing trying times with the economy, crime, and the treatment of one another, including children; we are having some rough days.

While the solution to our problems is not simply praying, we must be careful not to minimise the power that is collective prayer.

As we pray God can give us the wisdom to do the right thing or answer our request by sending the right people into our lives with the answers to present issues.

There have been several requests for the country to pray and there is nothing wrong with this.

But while we pray we must also work for “faith without works is dead.” So as thousands look towards the Lenten season to draw closer to God by fasting, keep in mind that God answers prayer. Change in our country is not far-fetched for God is merciful and maybe as people honestly seek Him He may show His mercy.
