I will praise you in this storm!

This week has been hard on my family. I know that God is in control and everything is for his Glory but sometimes that is hard to see! But while reading my morning blogs and praying about everything I read this:

Take a little time to rest,

Trust in God to do what's best,

Tell Him everything you need,

Follow where His hand may lead,

Think of His great love for you,

Believe there's nothing he can't do,

And know-without a single doubt-How much you're being thought about!

Then while I was on the treadmill the song came on:

I will praise you in the Storm by Casting Crowns

I was sure by now

God You would have reached down

And wiped our tears away

Stepped in and saved the day

But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls

I barely hear Your whisper through the rain"I'm with you"

And as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise the God who givesAnd takes away

[Chorus:]And I'll praise You in this storm

And I will lift my hands

For You are who You are

No matter where I am

And every tear I've cried

You hold in Your hand

You never left my side

And though my heart is tornI will praise You in this storm

I remember whenI stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry to you

And you raised me up again

My strength is almost gone

How can I carry on

If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain"I'm with you"

And as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise the God who givesAnd takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord

The Maker of Heaven and Earth

I must remember to Praise God in this Storm! It is hard and it is not easy but he never promised it would be! If you are going through a storm I pray that you take comfort in knowing that He never gives us more than we can handle!

I love my family and I know that through this Storm we will only become closer and stronger in our faith!
