TRAGEDY

Tragedy is no respector of persons. Because you live in a world that is on a steady course to destruction, there will be tribulation. You are now experiencing the times that I called, "The Beginning of Sorrows." You would think that such tragedies that are happening in the world today would cause many to repent and turn to Me. However, the self-filled life only thinks of self at these times. Such a life asks this question, "Will I be safe?" There is only one place of safety in this life on earth. That place is in My Father's heart.

Remember always that your life here is but a vapor. Eternity, however, is forever. Pray for those who seek safety and security from what the world has to offer. I offer so much more. I offer peace in the midst of the storm, joy in the midst of sorrow, and love that never fails no matter what is going on in the world.

I exhort you to pray for the suffering, but most of all I urge you to pray for those who are perishing spiritually because they have never known Me. Pray for My laborers who I send to those places where natural disasters and wars exist. Those laborers need your undergirding in prayer. Never have your mind absorbed with what will happen if tragedy strikes you? Instead, get out of that selfish mode and comfort those who mourn, weep with those who weep, and give the gospel to those who are perishing spiritually.
