When Disaster Strikes

"Our first feeling was total despair.  Everything we owned had been destroyed by a mudslide and flooding." -Andrew, Sierra Leone.

"After the hurricane, we returned to our home.  Nothing was left.  We were speechless. My daughter dropped to her knees and wept." David, Virgin Islands.

If you have ever survived  a disaster, you may understand what other survivors have experienced: shock, denial, confusion, anxiety, and nightmares.  Many disheartened and fatigued survivors have little motivation to move on in life.

If your life has been devastated by a disaster, you too may feel that you are near the breaking point.  You may even begin to feel that your life is not worth living.  However, the Bible explains that your life is worth living and that you can have a firm basis for hope n a better future.
