Another issue I find disturbing and once again has been ‘seasoned’, are the hurricanes. Charlie, Katrina, Irma, Harvey, Florence and others, were not just weathers, but with them also followed death and destruction! Hurricanes and tornadoes bring about catastrophic disasters and the aftermath is not only deeply distressing, it impacts the economy of the United States of America, as the government have to spend a lot of money recovering the land and it causes many severe set backs for the people affected.
Who can begin to empathize with those who are affected? When such calamity cannot be comprehended. One thing I’m sure of is, God is sending those afflictions upon the land. If God has a storehouse for snow and hail and He said, He reserved it for the day of trouble, for the day of battle and war (Job 38:22&23), this explains the fierce and troublesome weather conditions we find all over the world.
I have been praying for USA ever since my family and I, moved here in 2016 and wish many will join me to pray for this particular cause, that God will have mercy and stop stirring up the oceans and fires against this land every year. That God will also reveal what has been provoking Him to strike the land, that their will be repentance. I believe the Lord will hear our prayers and I am hopeful there will be healing in the land, if only united prayers go up before the Lord of hosts because God is love (1John 4:16).
Yes, our nation needs prayers. I think more people need to pray everyday for our nation.
