Praise You in This Storm

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”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
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

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

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


The words of this song come so easy until you actually go through a storm.  Then, suddleny the words are difficult.  I ask myself if I could say these words if the unthinkable had happened.  I don't think that I could.  Yet, God still chose to intervene.  So, why do I not trust that He will continue to intervene and protect?  Why is my head filled with worry?  Why am I so scared of what could still happen? 

Lord, help my unbelief.  Help me to trust You with everything.

To everyone that is praying for us, thank you so much.  We appreciate it more than you know.  I'm sorry that I have to be so vague and unspecific but because of the nature of our situation, I cannot give details.  Thankfully, God knows the details.  Every detail.  And He is working, I just have to remind myself of that (like every 5 minutes.)
