Whatever the effects or not or outcome or not through praying . It is for many and I mean really many the only thing they have in these uncertain times. Nobody has the right to push his/her opinion because it is nothing more than that. Who are you, who do you think you are?

Read my quoted text carefully and check your FACTS, this is not an OPINION, it is FACT. God gave us FREE WILL.....And 2) YES only HUMAN ACTIONS will help stop this spread..... It is our free will whether we decide to neglect ourselves or not always has always will. Resorting to personal attacks and arrogance is not the proper way of discussion, maybe it is in some countries, where physical violence and threats is the way of life, but luckily in some, we can have a heated discussion without personal attacks.

God helps those that CAN'T help themselves. No where in the Bible does it say that
God only helps those that help themselves. That's a false line that someone some
where came up with.
God can do anything and God can do everything. If you believe what it says in the
Bible, then you know the story of Moses, you know the story of Noah, you know
the numerous interventions of God and the plagues God sent upon Egypt.
God says 'revenge is mine'. God is to be loved and feared. He is the father. So
just as your father that you love, you may punish you when you do something
wrong, our Father in Heaven can punish us, if He so chooses to do so.
Who put the organism in the bat thousands of years ago that one day would be
released upon earth in people as the coronavirus? Did free will do that? Did
evolution do that? Did God do that? Did the devil do that? Perhaps more
importantly is who allowed the organism to be released?
Never under estimate God. God can punish His children and God has punished
His children time and time again.
I do believe we'll see a vaccine for this awful virus, this year. I do hope so.
I don't know that God put the virus upon us. I don't know that God will save
us from it. I am sure of one thing, God can do whatever He wants. That's
why He is God.
