"Their Eyes Were Watching God"

Hurston mentions this quote when the hurricane rips through the everglades. At that time everyone is looking to god to see what he will do next and shy he did it to begin with. This can also be seen as a theme throughout the book too. Everyone lives their lives with God in mind and they rely on him to make their lives better. They all look up to Him, praying that everything will fall into place and that he will take care of everything.
