I rely on God's power because I know His love endures. I do not rely on my power because I know it is weak. Lighting a dark area depends on a power source. I know I have a call to be a light in such a dark place. I know I am in it but do not have to become like it. I do not seek understanding as much as I do the realization of the reality of living in a "fallen" world. I do not hide or bury my pain (however expressed) by ignoring it. I have found in my many years in Emergency Medicine, that the only way I could endure the tragedy I witnessed was to find strength through trusting in God. One may release fears, anger, resentment, and loss of control to God. Most often, in the surrender and submission to the Holy Spirit, we find rest in God. My hope is that you and others seek God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) not so much for answers, but for rest and comfort of the mind, body, and Spirit. There is no quick remedy in nature to emotional pain and suffering which accompany such tragic events such as witnessed in Las Vegas. Human instinct is to try to "figure out" the "WHY?" during and after such tragic events. We may not understand why tragedy occurs.
