Disaster Strikes

After the devastating earthquake that rocked the foundations of Haite, the death toll has risen to heights that is an absolutely terrible thing to witness, especially to the relief aid volunteers on the ground. I ask everyone to take a few minutes out of each day to pray for the population that has lost homes, businesses, family members, and hope. Pray for the relief aid volunteers to restore hope in the hearts of the population. Pray for and give praise to those bringing in much needed supplies, the good Samaritans lending a hand, and conducting prayer meetings to touch the hearts of the lost who need God's love. May God bless Haite and put his hand on their rebuilding efforts.

I can understand how some may have trouble accepting God could let this happen. I admit I have had the same trouble accepting God's reason for me having this disease that I have, but I can not stress how important keeping your faith in God is at these points in your lives. Doubt, resentment, anger... are all tools that Satan uses to trap you in a dark, dark place that is hard to escape.

Faith in times like these is critical. Putting that faith in God will get you through the hardest of times. In God you must trust, and He will never let you down. Trust me, at the time you may not understand God's plan, but in the end, He will always be at your side, no matter what.

God bless you all,
Stephen
