--FRANKLIN GRAHAM URGES PRAYER
AMID COVID-19 FEARS ~~ [Decision/ 4/2020]

--As the COVID-19 coronavirus continued its global spread in early March, the world's financial markets saw steep declines; businesses halted nonessential travel; China and Italy attempted massive quarantines, and individuals stockpiled supplies in fear of widespread shutdowns.

"Much of the world is gripped with fear because of the coronavirus," said Franklin Graham on [social media]. "There's much that we don't know about this virus and who or where it is going to strike next. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I know that my life is in the hands of Almighty God. Every breath that I take, every beat of my heart comes from Him who created and sustains me. We pray for the people of China and other nations where this virus is spreading. Our hearts go out to those who are sick and suffering and to the families who are grieving the loss of loved ones.

"This world is looking for hope. My hope rests in God. King David said, 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me' (Psalm 23:4, KJV).- One day we will all stand before Him and give an account of how we have lived our lives. My prayer is that each and every one will put their hope and trust in Jesus Christ." ~~
