I Will Praise You In This Storm

(Just to keep everything up to date I finished reading Matthew chapter 21 today)
This past summer was amazing, God blessed me in so many ways; it blew my mind. I had a feeling that trials were sure to come, and they have indeed. Mostly its been stress, studying, applying for colleges, figuring out how to pay for college, family drama, worrying that we won't be able to pay the bills, etc. :/ It's astonishing how quickly I forget the Lord's blessings once the next problem occurs. God is so so good and has shown up in every trial in the past and I need to remember that He will guide me and be present during this current storm that I am facing. I just have to live day by day on my knees crying out and praising the Lord with everything in me.

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

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and 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
