I've been listening to the Casting Crowns song "Praise You In This Storm". The music is beautiful and the lyrics are so powerful that they brought tears to my eyes.
Sometimes, we do pray that God would take away a "storm" that hits our life, but for whatever reason, He allows it to remain. At times like that, we should, as the song says, just continue to Praise Him, in the midst of the storm, and remember that He is always with us and can give us the strength to weather the storm. And we have the hope that through each storm, we can grow stronger as our faith and trust in God deepens.
"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 Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For 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 to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
But 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
