A Prayer for the Headlines for May 25

Good Morning, God,
Alright, God, were you upset with us that someone tried to predict the end of the world - which is clearly stated in your Word that only you know when it will be and you aren't telling - that you sent the deadliest tornado in decades to Joplin? Were you still upset with us on Monday, so you sent the storms through Jasper that blew over a bunch of trees, some onto houses, most into yards and streets? Lord, are you trying to tell us all some things about the way we are living down here?
Or, are we just to believe your Word that the rain falls on both the just and the unjust, that weather just happens due to atmospheric conditions, and that you really aren't a God who would use your power to destroy us and our things, just to get your point across?
Lord, we do love you. We seek to do your will in your way. Please surround us with more of your love, protect us from harm and deliver us from evil.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
