Serenity and Storm




The “serenity prayer” is a good prayer of reminder to all of us about our need for God! There are certain things that come our way that are simply part of our path, God has allowed them to come to pass and we need not rage against Him but cling to Him. There are things that happen because of our choices, and those things may require us to make changes, change can be hard and we need God to help us. In the Presence of God comes wisdom and understanding, how close we walk with the Holy Spirit makes a significant difference on how clearly we can see what is happening around us. No matter what is happening, God is with us and He will never leave!

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.”
~Reinhold Niebuhr

The Joy of the Lord is our strength. That joy holds fast regardless of the storms that rage around us because it is not connected to our circumstances but comes to us directly from our Creator! He is unmoved, He will not fail, He knows our beginning and our end. I thank God that no matter what the world throws at us God has given us victory in His Son Jesus!
