Good Morning, God,
As showers and thunderstorms cross our paths, we lift up the headlines coming out of Moore, Oklahoma, from the huge, devastating twister that struck Monday afternoon.
Creator God, the nature you made is so awesome, from the tiniest of seed to the greatest of tree, from zygots in a womb to a person fully aged and grown, from the beautiful spring days to the ugliest of storms-the nature you made is so incredibly awesome. (See Psalm 8).
But, Lord, when devastation comes out of the clouds, we wonder why? We wonder why nature destroys so easily what we build. We wonder why nature snuffs the life out of men, women, and children, especially children hunkered down in school buildings.
Oh, Lord, our Lord, send your healing, comforting hand to those whose lives are a wreck today, and may your love and strength give us and them good courage.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
