Our thoughts and prayers

The two children from Denver killed in this accident are the niece and nephew of a friend of mine.

My thoughts are definitely with them, and my family is helping support where we can.

For those people praying, what are they really praying for? Support from a God who allowed the tragedy to happen in the first place? Where was God's Hand when it should have been holding up this airplane? What is it about such ridiculous tragedy that many turn to faith for consolation when really, it illustrates that if there is a God, he is unavailable?
