In These Stormy Days


The Lord promised that He will be there through stormy weathers and calm the storm. But if you were in a boat in the middle of nowhere and have nothing to hold on while being caught in the middle of a storm, how strong will your faith be? Fear may terrorize you and the feeling of desperation may overwhelmed you.


My family is going through a storm of our own but just as we are helping one another to get on our feet, we are swept off once again with a storm which drains us out even more. The feeling of betrayal and brokeness shattered the very foundation which love and trust had once stood on.


Hope is all we need... in these stormy days...


LORD, I NEED a big dose of hope today.

None of the pie-in-the-sky kind.

Not even a pretty-sure guess.

I need the real kind of hope that brings lightness to a heavy day.

I am tired of gritting my teeth, trying to swallow the pain that is my reality.

When I look back on my life, I see how you proved faithful time after time.

There were moments I thought you had forgotten me only to discover you were holding me so close I couldn’t see.

So if the stubborn pain refuses to subside for a while, I will still whisper your name in praise.

Refocus my mind on you, Lord.

Only on you.

It is there I find hope.
