Good Morning, God,
We pray this day and every day into the foreseeable future for the people of Japan. Lord, what a horrible mess! Do we dare blame you for it, Creator God? Do we dare ask you why? Do we dare say, "Thank goodness it was them and not us?" Lord, we can ask anything because of the feelings you have given us, but the truth remains that we now should pray for what is needed in the future.
So, Lord, strengthen the resolve of the people of Japan - the government officials, the rescue personnel, the families and individuals. Control your nature so that after-shocks cease and the waters recede and the sun shines full every day. Protect those near the nuclear reactors and those who have to work on them. And, may the political borders of our world be non-existent so that many nations and people will lend aid and a hand.
Thank you, too, Lord, that the effects of the resulting tsunami were not as bad for us as they could have been. Continue to be with all who call upon your name this day and always.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
