The need grows. On the weekend of April 17, the flow of refugees from Kosovo increased by 20,000 and another 20,000 were close behind. Second, resist the temptation to demonize whole groups of people or condemn them for the actions of their leaders, who have inflamed longstanding discord and mistrust to achieve their political ambitions. Third, set aside a time each day to pray for the victims of war. A woman pastor interviewed on television suggested that people of faith take two minutes each day at 3 p.m. to pray for refugees, for peace, for the Albanians, for the Serbs and for the men and women in armed forces of NATO countries.
Prayer can be a powerful force in overcoming evil and hardness of heart.
