Finding Peace in the midst of a storm

Have you ever felt like the world around was falling apart and you didn’t know which way to turn or how to get through? Many of us have gone through various trials & tribulations, perhaps your going through them right now! The problem when faced with such trials is that its difficult to stay motivated and see it through to the end. Some people give up trying and end up becoming a victim of their circumstances.

One observation I have noticed is that during those times of desperation people in a last resort will cry to God. When we are at the end of the rope, where we have tried all we could to get through and still fallen short, then we cry to God. Why is that? Why do people wait till the end to seek God on the situation? Are we so proud? Do we think we can do it our way without God? Do we think we know better than God? Its rare to see a person who has everything going for them in life to give time for God. They are too busy or feel they don’t need God in their lives because they believe they have all they need. But when times get tough and you lose your Job, house, family etc...thats when they cry to God...only when they need him, how sad. Its like a friend who only sees you whenever they want something...but when you want to see them, they make excuses or don’t have the time.

As Christians, we mustn’t let anything come between us and our relationship with God. For our relationship with others, is always dependent upon our relationship with God. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, and its his peace that sees us through the storms of life. So the next time you feel like you have your life under control and are in need of nothing, remember your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, for He alone you can Trust in Good times and bad.
