New Zealand's darkest day

As many of you know, on February 22, 2011, at 12:51pm, the New Zealand city of Christchurch was struck by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake that as of 3pm the following day, has left 75 people confirmed dead and roughly 300 missing.

The hard part for me about this situation is resting in the sovereignty of God in suffering. While events like this are obviously consequences of sin in the world, we can still be at peace knowing that God is completely in control of every brick that falls in the streets of Christchurch. I am sure that He has an amazing plan for this that we may never know in this lifetime.

Therefore, lets unite our hearts in prayer together all over the world for the people of Christchurch.
May there be a revival of repentance and faith in Christ in Christchurch that will then permeate through the entire country because of this horrible disaster.

Lets pray BIG.
