I hear people pray asking God to bless our country with a healthy economy, freedom from COVID, a just and good government, both local and federal, and that all the craziness will end. I am not praying for any of those things, I am going to just wait and see what God has planned. I am praying that the fear and anxiety people are feeling because of all these things will push them to seek for God. The Bible promises that if people will seek for God they will find Him, if they draw near to God He will draw near to them. When things are going well for people, they don’t seek God, but when things start to go wrong, they seek answers and security from God. The quality of life here on this earth matters little compared with the quality of life in the next. Only those who have sought God and have received Christ as their savior will live in heaven; everyone else will spend all of eternity in hell, which is a black pit of nothingness and aloneness. My fervent prayer for all the lost people I know is, “ whatever it takes, Lord, whatever it takes.”
