Praise You in this Storm

I remember when
I 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 gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter were I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And tough my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

Yikes! It has been awhile since I have posted on here.. Sorry about that. As this song may hint I have been super busy and being busy is like being in a storm. For most people they don't like storms for whatever reason they may have be it because they don't like the noise, it scares them or because they had something planned outside and can no longer do that at the time they planned because of the storm. As you can see that I haven't posted lately... that is because I was super busy with a lot of homework and trying to figure out the things that I have to do this summer. As you could say it did seem like a storm because I wasn't just sitting back and letting God do His will. I was trying to get through the storm on my own because I didn't think things were going to work out and of course, God reminded me that He had the whole thing under control the entire time and that I just needed to trust Him and not worry about it.

In the song we see that God is always there and telling us that He is there with us. Often times in the storms we have we continue to look for Him, but don't always see Him even though He is ALWAYS there with us. We stumble and fall at times, but God is always going to help us back up. The troubles and storms that we go to are a part of life and we need to remember to praise God in those times just like we do in the good times. There isn't any difference in the good and bad times we go through because God is working in every situation for the better for us even if we can't see it in the bad times. We need to remember to praise God in all parts of our life even if we are in a tough situation. God is always with us and for that we need to remember to praise Him. Through our tears God is there holding us and going to help us through.

Remember that even in the tough storms you go through that God is with you and you should praise Him.
