Praising Through The Storm

Consider it joy when you face trials because testing of your faith develops perseverance.
James 1:2-3


My God, I will praise you in the storm. In the good times I will praise you. In the bad times, I will praise you. Through the storm, and through the fire, I will praise you and you alone. As long as there is breath in my lungs, I will praise you. No matter what comes my way, I will lift my voice to you. I will lift my hands and I will worship you Almighty God for you are worthy of all the praise and all the honor and all the glory. EVERMORE I will love and serve you. EVERMORE I will bow before you and I will bless your name FOREVERMORE.

Oh God, I have been so weak. I have let my spiritual life become almost non existent. I have let myself fall into temptation. I knew better. I'm so ashamed and so unworthy. I don't deserve your forgiveness. But God... you are always there. You sent your son to die on an old rugged cross so that when I do fail you, by your grace and mercy I am forgiven. Thank you Lord, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for reaching your hand down to me when I have fallen. Thank you for picking me up, dusting me off and setting me in the right way. You are the one and only constant in my life. You are always there. You are there no matter what. Even when I think I can do it all by myself, you never leave. Thank you for loving me in spite of my sin. In spite of hurting you and turning my back on you. You are always faithful to depend on.

Thank you Father for loving your creation so much. Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for placing desires in my heart. Help me Lord to fulfill your plan for my life. I can't do it without you. I don't want to do it without you. I need you Jesus. You are my water, my bread, my air, my sanity, my comfort, my love, my patience, my family and my heart. Show me your glory Father. Don't let me miss the glory.

Help me Lord to lead others to you. Help me find the lost sheep and bring them back to your fold. Let me be a light for you. Shine in me Jesus. Draw me closer to you God. Show me your wonders. Let your precious Holy Spirit be ever so present in my life. Let me work for you. I am here Lord to give you all. Take my life Lord and let me be a living prayer my God to thee. It's all about you Lord. You are my audience of One.

Help me Lord to be the mother you would have me to be. Help me teach my children to love you and work for you. Help me to be the wife my husband deserves. Help us to grow closer to you as one. Let our home be a safe haven. Use us as a family for your glory.



They cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He relieved them from distress.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men.
Psalm 107: 6,8

  6. I was reading your post today and I can so identify with the prayer you were praying. I believe God led me to your site today for a purpose...to let me know I am not alone in the way I feel at times. Thank you for sharing your heart with God and with your readers. God is so good even when we feel unworthy. God bless you and your family!
