The world is in turmoil. Many sad happenings have been and are being experienced by mankind about floods, typhoons, earthquakes, tsunami, fires, droughts, which triggers devastating disasters and caused many lives. But where is God?

Everywhere, in all that is good and pure. I hope you allow Him to be in your heart and your daily life. He makes everything that is wrong, right, when you have Him in your life and you stay in His Word. Every day in the Lord is a good day, even with problems. When there are bad times, and we look to the Lord for comfort, it shows our faith and trust in God to all. He never forsakes us. He is always there, we make the choice to turn from Him. He is our closest living relative, and as disobedient children are from time to time, children may turn from their parent, but their parent still loves them no matter what. He is only a thought, and a prayer away. He is there when you feel alone, sad, and forgotten. He waits for his children to just take time and talk to Him. Take time to make God's day and talk to Him. no fancy written prayers, just speak to Him with what is in your heart.

I love these questions. Where are you when the hungry need to be fed. Where were you whenever an earthquake, fires and droughts take place, so you can help out.
The earth is ours to take care of, not God. While he is creator we are the caretakers. He did not set up babysitting services for humanity. Besides, based on what I have been reading here on Yahoo, all the atheist have all the answers. The world will get worst before it gets better. Its the law of nature. Chaos. So to answer your question, Where is God/ He is right where you left him when you believed in him, if ever you did believe. Look. Way in the distance. You can barely make him out from where you are standing.

God is in the hands of the people that rebuild from the disaster.
God is in the hearts of the people who donate to charities so people in the disaster zone can have food and clothing.
Earthquakes are a part of nature. It would take a prophet to tell us whether they are a form of chastisement from the Lord, and what is the reason. I turn TV ministers on and they don't seem to address that issue....the role God may be playing in disasters.
So, I would say God is in the hands of those who help.

We are never outside the body of the Father of all Creation. All these natural disasters is Mother earth groaning in sickness over all the sin and evil we invite into this plane of existence. You complain openly about God, but do you get on your knees and ask Jesus to make the world better?

I think you are serious with your question. The bible tells us that these types of things will happen, and indeed, shall get worse. Man wants God to not do anything harmful, only good. Yet man, does not want to do good. The things that happen to mankind happen as a result of sin. In the beginning, it didn't even rain. A mist came up from the earth and watered the ground. After the sin of Adam and Eve, man continued to sin. First, God warned them if they did not stop he would send rain. Since it had never rain, and Noah warned them of pending rain for 120 years, they didn't heed his warning. So when God sent rain he destroyed the earth. But man still had a sin nature and continued to sin. God has even destroyed cities, and wiped out cultures, and man continues to sin; and continues to cry out foul to God. If you want to live in safety then cling to God, don't blame him and refuse to serve him; but honor and worship him, and the promise to live in safety shall be yours. The answer to your question is: God sits high and looks down on us below as we continue to be disobedient (Hebrews 1:3).

The living reality of Gods spirit forever dwells within you as the higher self and it is our selves who are causing all of the world turmoils as this is only the law of karma working itself out through the agency of the forces of nature.If you break the laws of mother earth then they will break you!.Man himself is an emerging God and must learn through much suffering ,for this is the teacher of wisdom divine.!!

You might as well ask "Where is the air?"
Just like the air, God is all around you, even inside you, making sure you live and are healthy in spirit.
Imagine a bunch of primitive people who thought it was against the law to blow their noses: they might be struggling for air, asking "Where it the air?" when really they should be asking "Why don't I unclog my nose and breathe the air that is all around me?"
Why does an all-loving God allow bad things to happen? That's been debated by people a lot wiser than you or me for centuries and the answer is still: I dunno. But part of faith is clinging to that knowledge you have in your heart that says that God is good and loving.
Google "theodicy" for a lot more information than I could give you.

God is still in control. This earth is under the curse of sin. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they made the choice to live under that curse. Just because God allows things to happen does not mean that He is absent. Natural distasters happen--life happens. These are also signs that Jesus is going to return...see Matthew chapter 24.

Probably wondering when mankind is going to figure out that the greenhouse effect we are creating is real, science even says so.
Do you look for God in a sunrise?

God is everywhere and is present in all that is good. All the natural disasters and stuff is a result of man's sins. That's why in the Bible it says when you see these signs look for me for the end will be drawing nigh.
