"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations."

George S. Patton

Right as rain. God uses people, nations to engage evil on a daily level. If people are sensitive, His Spirit enters in people to do battle on a daily level with ideas, thoughts, actions which are interpersonal and not just international. Whether God steps in and rescues people or nations is another question. He surely has done so but in and on other occassions, He is silent. That is the quandary. No one will understand this; CS Lewis did not in his Problem with Pain book. Nor will we till we see face to face!
