Praise You in This Storm

The pain of losing a loved one is always difficult. 

After I found out about the loss of my Uncle I decided to
take some time to spend with the Lord while the rest of my team went out to
work. Since I couldn’t wrap my arms around my family, I needed my Heavenly
Father to wrap his arms around me.

 

For as long as I can remember one of the ways I have dealt
with any problem is through music. I often feel closest to God when I am doing
nothing but worshipping Him.

 

 

I knew the enemy wanted to see me angry with God; shouting
frustrations at the heavens.

 

 

Instead I began to worship a God who…

            Is
greater than ANY circumstance.

                        Is
the Prince of Peace.

                                    Provides.

                                                Loves
His children.

                                                            Works
all things for the good.

                                                                        COMFORTS.

 

I don’t understand why the Lord allows certain things to
happen, but I don’t have to. Loss is incredibly hard, yet it is in my
brokenness that God reveals his overwhelming love for me.

 

 

Casting Crowns

 

I will 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 torn
