3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us make sure there are no divisions between us, as we are all of one body, the body of Christ.
Sharing from 1 Corinthians 1
1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Brothers and sisters, lay all your troubles at the altar of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus and He will take care of you. Also lay your joys at His altar with praise and thanksgiving that He knows you are thankful for His grace and mercy.
This verse seems to be the current state of affairs, here and across the world. But I submit that with much fervent prayer and supplication the Father will hear us, heal our lands, and all groaning from those whom are righteous, will thus cease.

3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
When I contemplate what it must have been like for our Lord Jesus to have lived amongst us, I can't help but think he would have pitied the human race, but he definitely loved us beyond all comprehension...
