Gina Berg Bannecker Masterpieces 9 September 2014 Questioning A Higher Power When tragedy hits, man automatically starts to question why. They question themselves, others, and most importantly they question a higher power most of us refer to as God. If people look to God as the all mighty power who brings peace and justice to all, then why would he let us go through pain and suffering? This is when man starts to lose faith in a higher power.
