I have seen mostly in social media and our leaders in political rallies calling everyone who cares for our country to pray to God so that peace may prevail. Praying is a good thing. Trusting in God and having faith in Him is something to be encouraged.
But what mesmerizes me with those calling for prayers for peace, are the same people committing atrocities against their brothers and sisters. They are the same people talking ill about their fellow citizens. They are the same people who have looted Kenya or supervised and witnessed looting of public coffers.
