Has there ever been a time when you have felt like your life was falling apart? Has there ever been a time when you didn't know how you were going to make it? Has there ever been a time when you have felt lost and alone? Have you ever felt like crying but the tears wouldn't fall? Has there ever been a time when you just didn't want to get out of bed because you were feeling depressed and stressed out? Has there ever been a time when you felt like the whole world was sitting on your shoulders? Well if so, we can learn to smile in the storm. Smiling in the storm is hard because of the things we face. We are not alone in the storm because Jesus is there to control the storm we are in.
When the storms of life are raging it can be frightening. It can make you feel like you're drowning in stress, worry, and anxiety. We often forget that we can find comfort in the Word of God when we are facing challenges that we cannot control. Life isn't fair but we are not alone. We don't have to answer, but we know someone who does. We know someone who will give us the strength to overcome any situation we are facing. We know someone who will dry our tears when they are falling. We know someone who can calm our spirit when we are losing our minds. We know someone who can help us see clearly when our sight is out of focus. We know someone who can sit with us when we need a friend to talk to. We know someone who will be right by our side when we cannot sleep. We know someone who can make a way when there seems to be no way. We know someone who will sit by our side when we have lost someone we love. We know someone who will be there to help us pick up the broken pieces of our lives when everything has been shattered. We know someone loving, kind, compassionate, and giving. We know someone who is the Creator of this whole universe. Smiling in the storm with Jesus makes things worthwhile.
What are some of the storms in your life you need to smile through? What are some things in your life that you need to let go of? Tell Jesus and He can help you through them all.
