Survey: Personal Interest in God Increases When Natural Disasters Strike
A new study from LifeWay Research reveals that more than half (57 percent) of Americans become more interested in God when a natural disaster occurs. About one-third (31 percent) said their interest in God doesn’t increase after such catastrophes, the Nashville-based research organization found, and 12 percent were unsure.  

It is a mercy when God cares enough for us to “shake us awake” and give us an opportunity to turn to Him.
