In the city of Sendai just 80 miles from the epicenter of the quake,
A massive tsunami, over a 20 foot wall of water, destroyed whole sections of the city of over a million people.
Satako Yusawa, 69 years-old, said she has felt many earthquakes

She said her son had just borrowed a large amount of money to build a house, and the family moved in on Friday, February 11

Yusawa broke into tears as she looked out over the devastation.
Everything they owned was destroyed. "This is life," she said.
Bad things can cause us to feel that God has not protected us.

My way is hidden from the Lord because they felt that God did not care about their problems as he used to do in the past when he provided for their needs and protected them from their enemies.
My right is disregarded by my God because they felt they were being unfairly oppressed and taken advantage of but God was
not doing anything to make things right.
Don't misunderstand the silence of God about ...
