PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after a powerful earthquake flattened the president's palace, hospitals, schools, the main prison and thousands of homes. Untold numbers were still trapped. President Rene Preval said he believes thousands of people were dead from Tuesday afternoon's magnitude-7.0 quake.
In the blink of an eye, in the mere beat of a heart, in an intake of a breath, life changes ~ forever. We can't even predict what today will bring, let alone tomorrow.
Dear Lord God, bring a peace that surpasses all understanding to the people of Haiti and to the nations of the world as they look upon this devastation of nature. Some will blame You for not stopping this tragedy; they will turn away in anguish. But others know the Truth of who You are and will turn to you for comfort. I pray for healing for the entire country. I pray that their plight will not be pushed off the "front burner" when the media decides it's not "hot enough" news to report. I pray that Your will be done.
