In an age where safety technology advances rapidly, the world still feels increasingly perilous. Threats like potential wars, militant conflicts, airborne diseases, and frequent natural disasters remind us that gadgets alone cannot guarantee security. In these uncertain times, we find solace in turning to God through prayer, trusting in His protection. As Psalm 91:1-2 assures us, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”
