How are we to understand tragedy, O God?
How do we reconcile all the bad things that happen in this world
With the ultimate power you possess?
If we believe that you have all the power,
Then why do these things happen?
If they are not in your control,
Then how do they occur?
It is a mystery that is unsolvable,
But every bit of what we know of you
Affirms that you want good things for humanity.
We trust in you that you will provide
Even when the road is frightening,
And even when the way is darkened.
Sustain us, and remind us that
Although things seem out of control,
You are always more powerful than our storms.
Amen.
