There is a song you may have heard of…Praise You in This Storm…performed by Casting Crowns. It is one of those songs that people cling to when they find themselves in the storms of life. With tears in my eyes I have found comfort in it, but we ought not just listen to it when we are being battered…we ought to listen to it daily to remind us of the importance of praise. I think William Arthur Ward was saying much the same thing to a previous generation…"The pulse of prayer is praise.”
As you watch, or listen, here are Mark Hall’s words to the first stanza and chorus...powerful:
I was sure by now, God, that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. But once again, I say amen and it's still raining as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you"and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away.
And I'll praise you in this storm and I will lift my hands for You are who You are no matter where I am and 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.

God Wink! I stand amazed that you posted this blog on the same day my husband recieved his diagnois, and that was the song that kept running through my mind as I was struggling to turn it over to God and not try and carry the load myself. You taught us that we had to turn it all over to God, pray about it, and wait. In His time, answers will come. So we wait,and give praise, and thank Him for the people He has placed in our lives that give us strength. Thanks for being one of those many people!
WOW! How powerful is this!! It's so easy to praise God when things are going well, but it's even more important to remember to praise Him in the storm. He is all we need.
Wink indeed! Give it to Him...but we all know the waiting is not easy. We are praying for him and for you!
Yes, He is all we need to weather any storm!
