Struggling in Faith: No Answers...Only Questions

I heard something on the radio this morning...it kind of brought home or reaffirmed a struggle that I am experiencing.  I listen to Spirit FM pretty much exclusively in my car and on the way to work I usually hear the devotion/prayer time.  This morning they discussed praying for world peace in the context of praying for Japan and Libya.  While world peace is the token Miss America dream, it seems like an unattainable prayer.  But for God...world peace both from wars or tragedy is not only attainable but would take nothing more than a thought.

So here is my struggle...what do I do with a God who can but doesn't?  Whether it is an intimate prayer request like I shared in a post the day before yesterday or something like world peace, if we believe that our God can do all things (and I do) but doesn't act in a situation that causes those He loves pain, what does that say about our God...or my relationship with Him?  I know that He loves but why is He not moved to act on behalf of his people...in, say, Japan or Libya.  The pictures of the devastation in Japan break my heart, and I have no intimate knowledge of or love for the people there...and there are still aftershocks that would be considered sizable quakes in and of themselves.  I just don't understand...so I am seeking an extra measure of faith.

Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.  "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
