praise you through this storm

So it is kinda tough around here lately and it is hard to put it exactly. Life is good and the Lord is good yet it seems like we are going through a desert and I cant wonder why on earth why? Yet the Lord reminds me that he is faithful, always faithful, and no matter what storms of life we go through He is right there with us leading us and guiding us. it is occurring to me that we are at war with the enemy and he is trying to steal and kill everything we have. our battle is not against flesh and blood it is against the enemy and the things he is trying to do to us. right now it is a time for us to press into the Lord and not be discouraged, not be let down by what might seem like the world caving in around us but understand that the Lord is just wanting more of us for himself. The Lord is jealous for time with us, he want so much of us that we need to re-prioritize our lives to spend more time with him. The Lord is so good and so kind and we need to allow that very thought to sink into our hearts, he is good, his love endures forever, he will not leave you nor forsake you, our help comes from him the maker of heaven and earth. in short saying all this reminds of a casting crowns song, and makes me feel much better. it wont hurt us to smile and allow the joy of the Lord to be our strength. when we go through the valleys we need to cling fast to the arms of the father and worship Him for who He is!

PRAISE YOU IN THIS 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
that 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 gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And i'll praise you in this storm
and i will lift my hands
that 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
I will praise you in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
you heard my cry you raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find you
and 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

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"

good night ya'll let me know what you think, we need each other church
