Trusting God
in the Storms of Life
One day when I was tired, I thought of
going to my friend’s house, as I was overwhelmed with my tensions. I reached
her house, we had a cup of coffee and snacks, then we started sharing our
thoughts. We kept on talking for a long span, of time without noticing the
clock and It became very dark outside with thunders heard from far.
I waved my friend goodbye, and drove off
to my house. Then suddenly the rain started, with heavy downpour and fierce lashing
of winds on the car from all sides, the trees swaying and heavy thunderbolts
with flash of lightning. Seeing the situation, fear gripped me, after a few
miles; my car too broke down. It was a dark and lonely road with no single
person outside. I started to pray, pleading Him to send some help in the dark
and lonely night. When I played my car stereo, I heard the sweet song…in Hindi
dialect “Rahoein me kaate agar ho….” Which
means... In our lives we may find thorns and difficulties, but we shouldn’t
stop in between just keep on walking. It reminded me how God carried me in His
arms, when through pain and difficulties, I used to have many sleepless nights
the time, when I was diagnosed with M.S.
When situations like these come, when
you are down with your health, or there are zero finances, or difficulty with
your children’s education, that is the time we we feel helpless, fearful, and
broken down. Then we raise all these questions, as to why this happened, or why
did God allow this in my life? Why did He allow this storm in my life?
No storm can last forever. Remember
one thing that in these storms you are not alone, God is with you. Do not see
how big is your problem, but rather you should know how big is your God. If you
focus too much on the problems, you will lose sight of the promises. He will bring peace and calm, to all your
situations just trust Him and lean on Him.
Famous Quotes:
“When you pass through the waters, I will be
with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set
you ablaze”. - Isaiah 43:2
