An event that changed the world

I am deeply saddened and actually shed tears for the earthquake tragedy's victims, which has claimed at least 65,000 lifes , which includes 70 people from our very own country, Malaysia, where Tsunami and earthquakes had never happened before since history began. According to geologists and experts, this is the strongest earthquake that happened since the year 1964, and the 3rd largest in the world in earthquake’s history, measuring 8.9 on the ritcher scale. This is the very first time a country like Malaysia, which is well protected by all natural disaster, experienced earthquakes tremors and the deadly Tsunami killer waves. My heart goes all out to the family, relatives, friends, kins, of the deceased, and I share your sorrow and your pain. Nothing could be undone, except that just trust in The Almighty, that in every circumstances and trials, He will be there. It's really extremely hard to swallow the fact that someone close had gone away forever, but be strong and persevere…God will be there.

Lord, I lift up all the families and friends of those who had lost their life in the earthquake and the tsunami waves. Lord, You know of their pain and grief, and there is nothing that men can do to ease their sorrows, but only You can do it Lord. Father, take away their burdens, and pain that they are suffering even now, and I pray for a special covering of your blood to be upon the 65,000 families and friends, that they will find solace and refuge in Your name, Lord. I pray that Your presence will be felt in their hearts, and once again, I commit all who are affected into Your loving and caring arms. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
