Defending hope

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

I Peter 3:15

To be honest God, as a believer, I don't know what answer to give when disaster strikes and people blame you.

Disasters such as this tsunami in Japan are clearly easy grounds for people to blame and not believe in a God who says He's good. 

I still trust in you, Father. And I still believe that you are good even when I don't understand your goodness...
but in this case how do I give reason for the Hope within me to someone who seems to have a legitimate reason not to believe in you?
