“We are praying for God to touch the heart of the President for him to institute welfare programmes because people are suffering. Government should have a human face, we need policies,but we also need to survive.

“Young people are resorting to idolatry and ritualism because of hardship. This was not God’s plan for man. Many are turning evil due to lack of jobs.We will also be praying for God to keep the people who believe in Him; Christians should not lose their hope and faith because of hardship.

“God can also turn the hearts of the evil ones. There is nothing God cannot do for His people. It may be difficult but christians should have faith and hope that tomorrow would be better.”
