Philippines looks to God as super typhoon looms

Last Friday, President Gloria Arroyo placed the entire Philippines under a "state of calamity," as a powerful typhoon, Typhoon Parma, threatened more devastation following deadly floods, her spokesman said.

As the super typhoon approached, officials were pleading for God to save the disaster-struck Southeast Asian country from more devastation while millions of terrified Philippine flood survivors hunkered down.

Thankfully, the next day, Typhoon Parma changed direction.

Indeed, God is merciful.

God hears the prayers of those who sincerely seek Him.
