Pray Until It Passes

Good Morning!! Not sure why, but today I remembered my grand-daughter crying out in the night,...afraid of the storm. Thunder boomed and lightning flashed. She said she was afraid that the wind might sweep her away in the darkness. I tried to comfort her as the windows rattled and the wind howled against the house. Nothing worked,...until she had the security, of crawling into bed with us.

[Nothing] in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 8:39 (NRSV)

That night, I saw first-hand, what the disciples felt as a storm came upon them on the Sea of Galilee and their boat was tossed by the waves. Now, as then, Jesus offers us peace in the midst of our storms. Calling on His name, and remembering the assurances in scripture, give us courage in the midst of all adversity.

The good thing about storms is;
that they will always pass.

O' God, thank You for simple prayers, and for the peace You give,...when we are afraid of our storms. We pray as Jesus taught us, saying,...Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we foregive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

"People, places, events and things pass in and out of our lives,...what we're left with is whatever we've chossen to keep.There is where we have placed value."
