Praise You in This Storm Encourages Faith

Some of the words of the song “Praise You in This Storm” by Casting Crowns come to mind for many Christians tackling the trials and tribulations of their lives.

Unfortunately, we all have or will face trials and tribulations. No one is spared from them as they come to us in every walk of life. Troubles come to some, due to our the economic climate, they have resulted in loss of our jobs, homes or cars. For others the trials are of a health nature. Still others will face trials regarding their family or relationships.

It’s unwise for Christians to believe they will not have to deal with challenging times. There are many Bible verses concerning trials and tribulations including Romans 5:3-5:

“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.“

During times of tribulation believes can walk in faith and prayer and say to Our Father "I Praise You in This Storm"

Lyrics

I was sure by now
God, 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

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
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

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

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

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
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

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
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

Though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
