God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Caesar has a domain, but his domain does not include the church. Kings and other various rulers have been given a domain, but the domain of the church was given to others – pastors and elders. God has appointed them (Anthony Forsyth).
Emotion as a result of tragedy is not sin; rejecting God’s sovereignty and responding in anger or impatience is sin. Yes, we accept God’s plan in humble submission, but this doesn’t mean we don’t go before Him to weep and wail.
