Worship is a beautiful expression of reverence and adoration to our Heavenly Father. We experience storms in different seasons of our lives but we have the amazing opportunity to glorify God and have faith through the storm.
I've known the pain of loss and the struggle of infertility. Losing two precious babies and struggling with infertility for seven long years were some of the darkest seasons of my life.
These trials tested my faith in ways I never thought possible. There were times when I felt like God wasn't answering my prayers, and it was hard to accept the word "No." But in the midst of those closed doors, I learned to praise God.
During those dark days, I was shattered and depressed, but God held me together. He carried me through the storm, never leaving my side. His love was my anchor, my peace, and my clarity.
I learned that God is faithful, and because of that, we can have faith in the storm. He is trustworthy, and we can trust Him with our deepest pain and depend on Him through suffering.
But that's not the end of my story. God is powerful, faithful, and a finisher. Despite being given only a 5% chance of conceiving, God blessed me with a beautiful, healthy baby boy, who is now 10 years old.
Through it all, I've discovered the peace that comes through the storm. His endless and unfailing love covers me in moments of weakness. I've learned that it's not about what I go through, but how I go through it. With God, all things are possible.
In the storm, instead of getting angry and discouraged, draw close to Jesus and cast your cares upon Him, because He cares for you. Although it's dark and scary, look for the lighthouse. It's there, and you are not alone.
Let this be your reminder: God is sovereign, and no matter the storm, you can have faith. Your response can always be, "Here I am to worship." Let His love be your anchor, peace, and clarity.
Be joyful and don't lose hope. God is with you.
"You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word." - Psalm 119:114
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
A Prayer for Faith:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your sovereignty and love. Help me have faith through the storm, trusting Your goodness and provision. I cast my anxiety on You, knowing You care for me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
So raise your hands and worship Him, have faith through the storm, and don't give up. Keep going! You got this. God loves you. Worship Him! Give Him praise! Have faith through the storm. The storm won't last long. Joy comes in the morning!
In Jesus mighty name. Amen!
