Financial crisis!

We have seen the financial crises hit hard in Greece, Spain and Portugal. People are losing their jobs.
They even have to leave their houses and flats.
I saw on the news the other day that a woman in Spain could not stand the shame of losing her job and flat, she then leapt to her brutal death from the fifth floor.

Horrible.

I get to talk to people around me here in Sweden. People are losing jobs here as well. I hear people talking about hard times.
It feels strange though, because at the same time I hear that people are travelling abroad like never before during the most expensive times of the year. I see people shopping like never before in the big and fancy shopping centres.

I bet the Christmas shopping will hit another record this year and I then wonder whether we do indeed have a financial crises in Sweden.

In hard times it's even more important to pray. To pray for one another, to pray for our leaders, for our governments.

To be there for one another, help each other. Be generous, be kindly to one another.


Remember that we serve an awesome God !

God only gives three answers to prayer: 1. 'Yes!' 2. 'Not yet.' 3. 'I have something better in mind.
