Each state has particu- lar weather patterns and vari- ous storms. I have experienced hurricanes, tornadoes, bliz- zards, and thunderstorms to name a few. Each is unique and carries incredible power to destroy and devastate en- tire communities with power outages, destruction of build- ings, and loss of life. During it, many people are afraid because of the weather's fero- ciousness and potential dam- age. Just as stormy weather is fierce and intimidating, storms of life can rock our world. However, the bible gives us insight on how to navigate through these storms and walk in victory. Always know that God is greater than any tur- bulence in our lives! Psalm 93:4 (ESV) says, "Mightier than the thunders of many wa- ters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty!" FIRM FOUNDATION How do we prepare spiritu- ally for trials, especially when our emotions can become erratic and our thoughts can run wild? By establishing our- selves on a firm f o u n d a t i o n i n Jesus Christ, who is the anchor of our souls, we po- sition ourselves to trust God when problems come crashing at our door. Jesus states in Matthew 7:24-25 (ESV), "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been found on the rock." We also have to daily renew our minds with scripture to prepare for life's storms. As we meditate on the word of God, seek God's will, and do what he tells us to do, he will strengthen us before and during the trial. NEVER ALONE God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. Isa- iah 43:2 (NLT) says, "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." When you are faced with a difficulty, you have to remind yourself that God is there. Putting on praise and worship is a great way to focus your mind on the great- ness of God instead of your problems. Also, surround yourself with others who will pray for you and encourage you in the Lord. PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord, I lift You high in praise, for you are my God and my King. I will bless Your name into eternity. There are no boundaries to Your great- ness. Generation after gen- eration stands in awe of Your work; each one tells stories of Your mighty acts. When I look back at all the storms You have walked me through, my heart is filled with overwhelm- ing gratitude. I never would have made it had You not been on my side. I ask You now to help me again with the prob- lem I am dealing with. Lord, I look to You for guidance, strength, peace, and wisdom. I know that You love me. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen."
