Covid-19 has worthy opportunities, let’s tap them

When President Uhuru Kenyatta called on Kenyans to observe March 21 as a national day of prayer, there were those who mocked him, wondering if prayer would cure Covid-19. They missed the point. In the words of Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher, "Prayer does not change God. It changes him who prays."

Indeed, prayer changes us. That’s why it is fitting that CSs Fred Matiang'i, Mutahi Kagwe and George Magoha last Thursday held a consultative meeting with religious leaders and assured them of their support to facilitate their scaled-down activities. During this difficult times, prayers continue to strengthen our spiritual muscles and reignite our moral standing as a nation. Although Albert Einstein was known for his scientific genius, he hit the nail on the head when he said, "only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life".
