Pray For Japan

I guess it's the least we can do at a moment like this.....







I think it was a sudden shock for most people, even for me when I heard on the news and all over facebook saying that Japan had an earthquake which was a magnitude of 8.9, then followed by a lot of aftershocks and tsunami strikes...

honestly it's really serious, if you went around youtube looking at the videos, this is one really serious case, the highways splitted into two, fallen buildings, floods, broken houses and such.... it really is a shock that left me totally speechless not knowing what could I do???



But really, in a moment like this I just had to fall down and pray, to pray for Japan, to pray for the other people because honestly... what can we do to help???



Remember the earthquake in Haiti???

which was also massive, so much lives were lost, and homes destroyed...



and honestly if things like these doesn't spark a feeling of pity in your heart, and if it doesn't break your heart... I really wonder what actually goes into the minds and hearts of the people these days...



Today CNN just made Malaysia a little more popular by saying that:

"Local Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian published a caricature in their editor's column today that depicts the popular Japanese cartoon character Ultraman as trying to outrun an incoming tsunami.

The publication has received tremendous criticisms by readers, who accuse the editors as being "inconsiderate and distasteful". Several political leaders have even stepped out and demand a public apology, to which the editors promptly made on their publication's Facebook fan page."

seriously... Malaysian newspapers?? Have you gone insane to do a thing like this!??!?!

even after the earthquake struck Japan, then all around facebook came out very offensive comments going around like:



"Goodbye Japan, I'll miss sushi, at the mean time, it's time to sleep!"



"Japan must've done something to deserve this"



and other stuff like they deserve it because of the amount of people they killed in the war, it happened because they made the movie "sinking of Japan" etc...



have we begin to lose our humanity now...?? when at a split second lives out there are broken, when people's loved ones have died, houses are destroyed.... can you imagine if one day a disaster suddenly happened and everything you had is gone? Your home, your parents, your finance, your car, your computer and friends, and maybe even your favorite pet... honestly speaking it would be too much for me as a person to handle, and yet we have people laughing at them saying that they deserve it... if I had to say something about this I'd say that they that laugh at things like these deserve it even the more than them who are innocent..

I mean.... look at the dead people all over in this picture from Haiti... doesn't this give you even a little sense of pity for them?? I'd say that they all deserve even single bit of a right to live just as you and me...



But really.... sigh.... things like these can really shake up the world, and our own little hearts, it's a hard reality that gives us a tight slap in the face saying that life can just come and go in the split second at the snap of a finger, and our loved ones, at a moment you could be seeing them laughing, and at the next second you could be there watching them bury them six feet under...



I wish I could do something to help though, whether it's in the area of sending some money, heck... if I could even join a relief team to help them out I'd do it!! But what about us who can't help financially or going there?? I'd say... pray for Japan... because they need our prayers..



A nation that's also known as the graveyard for missionaries, is also one nation that needs God as much as you and me... really, pray for them, pray that God will give them the strength to make it through somehow, for guidance and peace, for them to be strong to stand up again, and maybe through this that they would also find God in all of these things... and for me, I think that's one of the best things we can do for them



sometimes we estimate the power of prayer, that it is just all talk and no action... but I'd say that as much as we need workers in the field, we all need a supporting role of prayer warriors to back them up, to know that there's someone remembering them in prayer and also helping behind the scenes...



so.... pray, because you might not know, right now, God might be answering your prayer and also answering a prayer of someone that's crying out over there now

Japan... we're here for you in prayer... God Bless You
