I have often said on my time here on earth that I have never seen such-and-such. We are now tapering down; I hope with a pandemic. This after the United States and families across the world have suffered many casualties. I am sure many would give all that they have to reclaim loved ones, friends, and colleagues. While people are dying, some people are financially strapped because some have been off the job because of stay at home orders. America and the world are under demonic attack. Some say it is the fault of China. I believe it's some truth to that because people in the know are saying it. Others don't know what to think. No matter whom is at fault, it is time to pray. It is time to pray as if our very survival depends on it. Health officials say we could go through the same thing again next year.
I really don't know if I am up for that. I am sure we as humans can weather many things, but there have been so many deaths and I just don't want a round two. People are also talking about the new normal. What does that look like? Does that mean for a period I will work from home? Does that mean I will always have to wear a mask when leaving my home for essentials?
While people are burying loved loves, working from home and trying not to catch the virus, other things are going on? The United States has been delivering checks into the hands of Americans. While Americans are getting checks, industries are getting bailouts. Small business owners are getting Paycheck Protection programs and millions of Americans are on unemployment. Many have never been on unemployment in their lives. Most of us did what we were supposed to do. We got educated, got a job, had a career and stashed some cash for a rainy day. Only it's not a rainy day, it's a flood. Many of us didn't stash cash and were already living paycheck to paycheck.
To solve all of our woes and problems, we only need to do one thing. "If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin, and will heal their the land." This is from II Chronicles 7:14. This is a call to turn to Christ. This is a call to stop the sin that America and the world have put on a rubber stamp and this is a turning back to God. Many people have made other things their gods. Who knows why God has allowed what is happening? We find comfort in what the Word of God says, and it is this, "All things work together for good to them who love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose." This is from Romans 8:28.
You might say. I know many people who are saved that died from the virus. If they were saved, then you need to rejoice that they left here in a saved state and entered Heaven. About 40 percent of the world is of the Christian faith. Another 25 to 30 percent are Muslim and then you have Hindu, Buddhists and other religions.The Global Religious Landscape
You might say, "I need help now. If God will help me, He should have showed up two weeks ago or yesterday." Most of us will take God's help whenever He shows up, but you acknowledge that you need His help and that you want His help. Some people are too proud to do that.

What if I don't know how to pray, then what? The Bible says, "Pray in this manner: Our Father which art in Heaven..." The Lord's Prayer. Go to the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:15. I pray that God will meet your needs. I pray that He will surround you with people who care about you and provide sound advice. God instructs us to seek wisdom because it is the principal thing. Read the book of Proverbs in the Bible for more wisdom. Sometimes people give out bad advice not knowing that they are sowing bad seeds to receive bad advice. Advise people in the best way that you can and if you don't know, just say so.
