Urgently beseech the divine, for the moment is now, not tomorrow. Tomorrow may be too late for some, as sad as it sounds. To those who hear the truth and resist obedience, be prepared to confront formidable forces. Let not your hearts harden, for in prayer lies the hope for divine intervention in the face of impending challenges.
