There has never been a time for prayer as today. So much is happening the whole world over, that it seems as if there is the over abundance of natural disasters, that are happening too fast to count. Lost of human life takes place on a daily basis, to the point that people have become desensitised. We hear of hurricanes, tornados, floodings, landslides, and so many other disasters happening each, and every day.
As people of God, this should be of great concern to us as the Bible lets us know that God will intervene in the affairs of this world, if we would stand in the Gap, and make up the Hedge with prayer. II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God will do if His people would just pray, and live His way. It was relevant then, and is still relevant today.
Upon His departure, Jesus prayed, in the book of St. John the 17 chapter, for his disciples, and those who would come after them to continue in the steps of our Lord, and Savior. He prayed for God to keep His people while we are in the world. The work of Evangelization must, and will contnue, and at the same time, God has equipped us to bring forth changes, as we walk in the Spirit on this earth.
Therfore, let us be spiritually alert on the earth, and let us live a life that reflects Christ in us which is the hope of glory. We are not to despair as we see the things that are coming upon the earth, but we should be able to let the world know, that the best is yet to come. We are living to live again, and Christ is the firmest foundartion of all.
Finally, let us continue in prayer; for the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous still avails much. God does hear and answers the prayers of His people.

ok
2 Chronicles 15:5,6,4,7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. An opportunity exists for all to be comforters (2 Corinthians 1:3-7) when those in our sphere of influence become distressed.
