EARTHQUAKES

As I write this I have just been reading about three recent earthquakes:

Right now would be the time to pray for those devastated by these earthquakes.

Their needs right now would be food, water, clothing, and shelter…basic physical needs. People all over the world have gone to help them with these needs. We can also pray that more will be able to go to help and that funds will be given to meet these practical needs.

But even more importantly they need God’s love and hope.  They need calmness and an anchor in this storm of life. They need to know God is still in control and they can rest in Him in spite of their circumstances.  They need to know God is faithful and will be with them through the days and nights ahead.  He will comfort them if they have lost loved ones. He will give them strength and direction.

Our prayers have the power to reach anyone anywhere in the world. Please pray now, ask God to be very real to those affected by these earthquakes and to meet their needs as only He can do!

God will supply the people, the funds and meet all their needs.  Most of us may not be able to go.  Some of us may not be able to give, but all of us can pray asking God to give them much needed help and hope for right now. 

Psalm 46:1 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

 God is our refuge and strength,
 A very present help in trouble.
