Have you been in a bad storm like a tornado, snow storms, ice storm, rain storms, or hurricanes? If so, you know how bad weather can be. But have you ever been in a storm where the weather is always bad? This is a short poem difficulties in life called the Quiet Storm.
The Quiet Storm
O Lord, it feels as though I'm in the midst of a bad storm
where it constantly rain,
the severe weather is causing anguish, agony, and pain.
There's no peace or happiness-- I'm overwhelmed with grief,
I spoke to a psych about it and he shook his head in disbelief.
The storm makes it so difficult to get through the day,
but I believe You can make it go away...
"Behold,
If I can raise the dead, raise the sick from their beds, feed thousands
with fish and bread, then surely I can stop rain from falling on your
head. Furthermore, if I can make the sun shine in the summer, and
flowers bloom in spring, then surely I can do anything. As sure as the
sun rises in the east, the dark clouds and stormy weather shall cease--
I declare, you shall see joy, happiness, and peace!"
Psalm 50, Psalm 51:16-17, Psalm 55:25-28, II Kings 23:24
