Good Morning, God,
Gracious God, we pray this day for the people behind the headlines in Indianapolis. Lord, some of your followers were killed and injured when their church bus rolled over after its brakes failed. There were 40 people, mostly children and teenagers, in the 40-passenger bus returning from a fun week-long church camp in Michigan.
Lord, the inevitable questions will come: was it the driver's fault? Was it the bus' fault? (They think it was the brakes), but the question will also be as to why you would let this happen to those who love you. Why would a caring God allow this, and if you do allow this, then what's the use in believing anyway? Bad things will happen anyway. Why waste time with faith and belief in God, then?
Lord, it is a mystery about you that bad things do happen to good people. It is a mystery why your word says, "The rain falls on both the just and the unjust."
You are a mystery, loving God. Please help us solve the mystery. Until then, help us to know and love you, anyway.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
