How do you handle crisis?

March 12, 2011

I’m a blocker. I block things from my mind that seem to hard for me to fix.

It might not be the best thing to do, but that’s how I cope.

I’m a fixer. If I can’t fix it, I block it.

I also look to God. To me that should be the first thing I do.

Is it always what I do first…  No, I confess.

This weekend tragedy in Japan is so huge.

Since God is able to do more than I can ask or think, I pray.

Prayer is ultimately the best thing I can do.

I wish I could be there and physically do something to help.

    Pray for Japan.
    I pray that God would comfort families and calm fears.
    Also, that people’s needs would be met and their lives and homes would be restored.

    I’m a blocker too … somethings are just so overwhelming that to not block them would completely floor me with shock and sadness and emotions a mere human isn’t equipped to handle alone. I also have a fear that all of this is God’s prophecy coming true … that we truly are in the end times and he’s sending a desperate message to the world. I only hope that I’m judged ready in His eyes and I’m scared that I won’t measure up. So I too pray … that’s all I can do and I believe often times that’s the greatest thing we can do too. My heart goes out to the wonderful people of Japan as well as all others who have suffered such loss of tragic dimensions recently. May God bless and comfort them!

    I’m so with you……it hurts my heart so much to try and comprehend what all they’re going thru…..all we can do is lift them up with prayer and God will comfort & provide…..
    but I too wish I could be there to help in SOME way…..

    I block too. Its a targedy what is happening in Japan, I also pray for everything, the survivors, the victims and their future. I spent most of the weekend reflecting on my blessings, all that I am thankful for and most importantly not taking “our ordinary life as we know it” for granted.

    Each day it seems so sad as I look at the situation. I just need to keep remembering to pray.
