When people around the world fear the worst, it’s time for Christians to stand up and pray for the leaders, issues and victims of the things causing that fear. Right now, those things look like coronavirus, a stock market in steep decline and a divided nation on display as our political parties prep for the 2020 election. Local issues are virtually unlimited. But it’s fear that needs to be defeated. It is often justified but wisdom doesn’t create a pit in your stomach. Wisdom doesn’t keep us awake at night. It causes peace, doesn’t react hysterically, and brings comfort to others. May our leaders guide our nation to the best decisions and bring peace swiftly.
