Yesterday I turn on my computer as usual to log onto my e-mail. I'm about to enter in my username when words catch my eye: Earthquake, Japan, Tsunami, Destruction, Missing. I click on the news link and my heart breaks. I feel so powerless, so helpless.
There are so many things in this world that are out of my control. And I can be such a control freak. I ask God: Why did this happen? But He answers that He is holding everything in His hand, even when it seems like it all is falling apart.
God, I surrender control to You. There are so many things bigger than me, but not bigger than you. Help me not to worry. Help me not to fear. Strengthen those who are facing their worst nightmares this week. Please be with those in Japan and Hawaii. God, I believe you are loving, but this world is quite fallen. Don't let me doubt Your goodness. Be a strong tower and a mighty fortress to the people in Japan. Continue to send out missionaries to make your love and grace known all around the world. Bring hope. Be in control. Make beautiful things out of dust.
