Praise

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 givesAnd 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

Those are just a few lyrics from the song "I Will Praise You in this Storm" by Casting Crowns. The sermon at church today was from Psalms and it spoke of hearing God's voice among the storm. My family has seen it's share of storms over the past few years as I'm sure everyone's family has. I've just recently discovered that when a storm comes my way, I should just stop, be still, and listen for God's voice. As the preacher said, God doesn't speak to our ears, he speaks to our hearts. I have to keep reminding myself that I cannot fix everything. I have to hand it over to God and let Him take care of it.
