I would praise You in this storm

 One day, I was riding in the car from school, and this song was playing and as I heard it, the lyrics really spoke to me. Especially the chorus. So listen to the song, if you don't have time, just read the lyrics, it's really meaningful.

So many times we only praise God when everything goes well, when we get what we want. When everything is running smoothly and when we're happy with what God has done for us. But often we forget that we have to praise God in ALLLLLLLLL CIRCUMSTANCES.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I was sure by now,God, that 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.

Chorus:
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

I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Praise You in this Storm - Casting Crowns



Acts 16:25
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

THEY WERE PRAISING GOD IN JAIL. 

Imagine what the other prisoners would have thought. They would have thought they were mad! Being thrown in jail and you're singing songs of praise?!

But then..*drumrolls*

Acts 16:26
Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.

Read for what happened after that here :)
