This is so true Dusty,

Quote:

God is closer to us in the times of storm than when everything is going smoothly.

I have never been as close to God as when I was in my deepest pain and distress, when all I could do was to cling to him. He is a loving Father and brought me comfort and joy and delivered me from every storm.

Pehaps then we are simply closer to Him!

[quote=adonaicole;41702]You are so right Boanerges. Satan tries to wear us out but God gives us times of refreshing. The last week, I have had serious battles but I turn to God in prayer and he delivers me, not by my strength, but by his. Between battles he leads me to green pastures, beside the still waters, he restores my soul. He dries my tears and gives me joy even laughter.

AMEN, Hallelujah, hallelujah, Praise the Lord!

I found that if I spend a half an hour praying for God's protection before I sleep, that I have pleasant dreams instead of bad. God is so good, he gives us what we need, we just have to ask.

That's exactly right!
