Two earthquakes, of overwhelming magnitude,
with many lost or unaccounted for –
with such immensity, must I conclude
that God is not controlling anymore?
The devastation seems so very real.
My heart goes out in love. I am resolved
to pray to God, to fervently appeal
to know the truth for everyone involved.
Then God assures me that its massive size
does not make devastation real or true.
In prayer, I need to see, to recognize
that God is still supreme – and in His view
eternal Life and harmony prevail.
With doubt assuaged, and faith in God restored,
I stop the fretful focus on detail.
With gratitude, I wholly trust the Lord.
With that in mind, my prayer can now progress
to boldly claim the truth for all – to bless.
