Storms…

The storms of life we all have them, out of the blue a black cloud hits and torrents of rain fall.

Some of us tend to hibernate when the winds are howling and debris is flying! Self preservation and healing I surmise but I can’t help but think the most important thing is what we are doing while in our hibernation mode.

Do we get on the phone and call everyone we know and hash and rehash? Do you get on social media and wave your privacy like a flag no one really wants to see? Do we have that one trusted friend we can spill our hearts too who listens and offers advice from the heart and probably their own past experiences. Or, do you find a quiet spot to pray?

Psalm 62:8 NIV “Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”

I can personally testify to the peace that comes from talking to God first! We can scream, cry, wail, gripe, feel picked on, become a martyr within indignant righteousness as we look upward in our pain, fear or frustration…and then something magical happens!

Random thoughts come to mind and soon the compartmentalization starts to happen. Often the Lord will reveal the true root of the storm or possibly our hand in the creation of. He will reveal the truth if he is allowed to speak. He will calm and restore if we let him.

There is nothing wrong with turning to another human for contact and comfort, that is why God gave us the natural ability to love and share relationships, so we do have others to talk with, pray with and receive spiritual counsel from but don’t ever forget to go to the real source of us all!

Our Father God in Heaven who Loves his children and just wants the best for them!

Give prayer a chance to heal the wounds, take away the anger, restore the lost and broken, seek the place of refuge within his loving grace.

Be blessed today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
