A lot of arguments have risen due to the fact that Nigerians have been hashtagging #PrayforParis, saying that they haven't even taken time out to pray for their own country.
In my opinion Chris Travis says it all:
The problems in the world are so profound that our efforts seem futile. The world is broken. Wars and genocides are like a cancer that can't be beaten. Peace is short-lived - just a remission, really before the violence flares up again. The issues of poverty are so complicated that few agree even on how to help. Most scientists concur that climate shift is in progress, but there is almost no consensus on its causes or what we can do about it.

Honestly, if you are attempting to change the world in your own strength, there may be not much use.
You are probably thinking with so much suffering in the world, what could I possibly do about it? Or is it worth trying?
Despite that! You have a crucial part to play. God knows what He's doing, and He's working things out for the best. If you OFFER what you can, you'll be amazed at what He can use you to do. Don't underestimate Him.

The unfortunate thing is some people are not ready to play their part; a word of encouragement, a prayer for someone, or money contribution sounds 'too small to bother or it won't be missed if left undone'.
Its so tempting to underestimate the impact that we can have or the difference a particular deed can make.

Our tiny little offerings may just be a drop in the bucket - a drop in an ocean of need. One drop won't change the ocean but consider the ripple effect!
Don't doubt your contribution and don't underestimate Jesus!
So please Pray for Nigeria , Pray for Paris, just pray. And remember you have a role to play.
God bless you.
God bless you.
With love, theInspiredCutiee
