Some of my friends attach huge prophetic significance to the Coronavirus beyond other struggles that happen on the face of the earth either past or present. I personally do not. They may be right, I may be wrong. I sincerely mean that, it is not just a throwaway comment. Whatever, via Facebook, like myself, you will be receiving news of friends and loved ones of friends who now have the virus. Some, mostly those with underlying health conditions, have been hospitalised. Whether we regard what is happening as part of living (and suffering and dying) in a fallen world or give it all a more pointed significance, we need to be united in prayer for those who suffer, and their loved ones coping with the distress. After that, we may believe we are being led to pray in different ways about this whole thing and indeed we must pray as we are led by the the Holy Spirit. However, let’s not get so lost in the theology of it all that we forget real people with real needs who need God’s help and our prayers.
