When Disaster Strikes By Anne Graham Lotz

When Disaster Strikes By Anne Graham Lotz When disaster strikes, how are God’s people supposed to respond? There’s one thing we can do more effectively than anyone else—pray. A clear example has been set for us by the Old Testament Prophet Habakkuk. He knew the mounting sin in his nation was pushing God beyond the limits of His patience. When God confirmed that His judgment would fall in the form of a catastrophic disaster, the prophet turned to God and poured out his heart in prayer. Whether we are still on lockdown or not, we must make time for honest, heartfelt prayer. Let’s pray especially for victims of the coronavirus and their families, and for health care workers and business owners. And as we pray, let’s stay focused on the One who hears and answers prayer—the Lord God of Habakkuk.

TODAY’S PRAYER Heavenly Father, we pray for people all over the world who are hurting. Bring healing and comfort, Father, and open our eyes to how we can help. We desperately want others to know Your love. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
