We've all been through pain in this life and if you have lost a loved one, you'll know that the pain is almost unbearable. We hurt, we cry and most of us get mad at God. Maybe you're going through that right now. Maybe you have lost a loved one or maybe you are going through what I call the storms of life. Those seasons in the desert where you can't see an end to your pain or a way out of your situation.
Well, if this is you; I just want to remind you that God says "NEVER will I leave you; NEVER will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). He will ride the storm with you. So I encourage you to hope in Him because those who hope in Him will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. And sometimes in those storms of life, we must remember that God is teaching us something, making us stronger and making us more like Him.
So, when you're in the storm, allow God's peace to flood your heart and have faith that He will bring you through. I know that this is easier said than done but it would save us so much pain if we trusted God more and had more faith. Jesus says in John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid". He goes on further to say in verse 33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." So I say to you, stand in the midst of your storm with the peace of God in your heart and faith in Jesus to see you through it. Things may be bad now, but they will get better. Someone told me today "when God doesn't calm the storm, He calms His child". So do not allow grief, pain, fear and anxiety to cloud the power and promises of Almighty God. You will make it through this storm by God's grace and He will ensure that it is to His honour and glory!!
The song below really spoke to me and I hope it encourages you and helps you through your tough time.
