Pray yes, but put in hard work to address national challenges

After the Nakuru and Nairobi prayer meetings, several people have raised interesting questions on the events. Some have wondered whether the new government has now turned to prayer as a solution to national problems and challenges, and whether this is a legitimate way to address national challenges - such as drought, security, economy and political dissentions.

Others have wondered whether the Kenya Kwanza government could be strategically using prayers as a disguise to muster its control on the Church - in what has been loosely termed as Church Capture. Still others wonder whether it could be the Church that is using prayers to capture the government.
