I Pray for British PM Boris Johnson that he has a speedy recovery from the Covid19 virus
Mr Johnson God Bless you!
wishing him a quick recovery
I am your fan,Boris, but I sincerely hope you recover soon.
All the world just keep working be god is wiht and we have to trust god not the news in the people and dont thing more on the covid 19
don't drink n text.
"Just trust God" will not help anything, but following medical and scientific advice (which you can get from the news, by the way) will, and has, helped.
I know hitting the “123” key to insert punctuation is a nuisance. We all hate doing it. I know I do. But if you practice just a little, it might get easier with time...
isn't it Jesus and the Lord that gave him COVID19? I dont understand the dichotomy of why God is now responsible for saving him if he gave it to him. Is it so God can leach off people's prayers and stay relevant in current times?
There is a holy God and his Son Jesus, and they truly love man and have given him this planet .And we don’t get to choose when we cash in our chips, but this life is only the precursor. We should all humbly seek our creator’s mercy in this time- he grieves with us, and with each death- and looks for us to choose his path back home to him, rather than our own.
don't ask logical questions to illogical people, they will be forced to rationalize with even more illogical nonsense.
Amen 😂
We are all pulling for you, Boris. Godspeed.
Our PM is a fighter ! He will come through successfully. All our prayers are with him.
PM is obese, physically unfit. if he pulls through he better praise his angels God and go on a diet. Fat people are atba much higher self induced risk of death from this virus.
Healing for him in Jesus name.
wish him a recovery, but cannot stop thinking about how poorly he handle the situation putting everybody at risk.
yes thinking about population auto immune strategy was a pure madness. Karma karma
and he infected his pregnant girlfriend...
there enough people on earth
Haters, please shut up. Have some compassion for a human, no matter if you agree with is politics or not. Thank God you are not in the same boat suffering like him.
Sorry I compassion for human, not politicians: next ( will be awesome) Bolsonaro and Trump. When you lead a country you must first protect your own citizen, who care about what you believe. God does not exit, it is juste for weak minded people allowing few to control the majority : promising and heaven lol
Give him hydroxychloroquinine already sheez!
