Please don't give God the credit for what actual people who want to help are doing.
God doesn't stop riots and looting, the task force and people protecting their families and property do. If your God wanted to stop BLM for whatever reason, he wouldn't have allowed them to exist in the first place. Oh, those must be the "trials" you'd claim them to be. The kind where where innocent people suffer for no reason at all.
It's fine if you wish to practice your own beliefs, however you came to this thread to preach, claiming your prayers are responsible for what people are risking their lives to stop and completely ignoring their sacrifices.
Also, how about people spend their time gathering their prized possessions and family to evacuate instead of praying? Wouldn't it be rather tragic that if people followed your advice and multiple families would be swept away and have their lives ended because they thought a symbolic gesture was going to save them from a natural disaster?
That's a rhetorical question, since if that didn't work, you would simply claim it is a hardship your lord gave you to overcome.
So that night I prayed for the revival and other matters. I prayed on and off through the night. Nothing happened. It was peaceful throughout the night. That morning I get an email from the Pastor and he said to me, God told me those people had come out to your land but God had put a wall of fire around your property. They ran away. I knew this was true because the LORD told me they had fled in terror. I laughed. I could just picture those people running for their lives!
Must be nice to have a recollection of an event you didn't even see with your own eyes.
And to be frank, if a group of people were actually standing outside your house, what sight would most likely scare them away? A weapon, a sign of putting up a fight, or someone getting on their knees praying for help?
I'm sorry to the OP, since this thread was supposed to be for her enlightenment of her situation, but I felt I had to address these posts, as they endorse age-old methods of escapism that would literally get innocent people killed.
