sleep, God, and calamities

I've stayed up for an extremely long time, with a background of barely any sleep over the weekend.
My mom is home from the hospital but she went to the doctors today.
They found something...in her lung...a nodule.
Now it could be nothing, it could be something.
But honestly from I know that God hears our cries, and prayers.

Just look at the whole situation of the earthquake in Chile, and possible tsunamis throughout the ring of fire was startling.
I have friends in Hawaii. I lived in Hawaii, this was mind-baffling for me. I began to pray because I just couldn't even imagine waking up to feeling that anxiety.
Everyone joined in prayer around the world, and while yes, many did die in Chile, for an 8.8 earthquake it was amazing how many people were/are okay. A potentially world devastating event could have happened. But the prayers of the righteous avails much.
I love when God comes to the rescue. I love seeing people turn to God in times of crisis. That's not the only time he listens and answers prayers.

He answers prayers when the waves are rising, and when the sea is calm. He listens when you are in the most confused state of mind, or have never felt more peace. He's not conditional. something to think about.
