storm brewing

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

There's a storm crashing outside... and inside. 

Is God really working all things to the good to those who love Him?

He says so, and i must believe Him... 

Father, increase my faith. You and You alone are Truth and Goodness, Mercy and Grace, Hope and Refreshment, Restoration and Life. In all our mistakes, waywardness and independence, You still love us enough not to leave us alone. Sometimes we cause the storm, sometimes You bring it to us, and sometimes it just happens.  But whatever the case, we know when the storm clears and even in the midst of its raging hours, You still reign. Help us hold on to the Truth, to believe and to share Your Light.   
 
Today we are lifting up special prayers to You for all in the path of Hurricane Florence.  May their hearts by flooded with Your peace, strength and comfort in the hours/days ahead.

And, we thank You, amen. 

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
