Everyday Life - a Daily Devotional Day 47 of 365 Let the Storm Subside I have faced so many storms in my life, some like the quick afternoon storms that are common in the summertime and some that seemed like category four hurricanes! If I have learned anything about weathering those storms, it has been that they dont last forever, and I dont need to make major decisions in the midst of them. Thoughts and feelings run wild in the midst of crises, but those are exactly the times we need to be careful about making decisions. I often say to myself, Let emotions subside before you decide. We must remain calm and discipline ourselves to focus on doing what we can do and trust God to do what we cant do. Instead of drowning in worry and fear, get in touch with God, who sees past the storm and orchestrates the big picture. He makes sure everything that needs to happen in our lives happens at the right time, moves at the appropriate speed, and causes us to arrive safely at the destinations He has planned for us. Prayer Starter: God, I know that I cant control everything, so I will do what I can and trust You to do what I cant do. The storms of life do not control me. I trust Your plans for me. Psalm 46:1-3 Psalm 46:1-3 AMP 1 GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, 3 Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
