For days and weeks a storm swept through my life. High winds blowing chaos of confusion, scattering the debris of anger. Flooding tears of rain swept nights prevailed. Turmoil of thunders clap, lightening, that fed fear, too bright to endure. I prayed, constantly. Surrendered the storm, that I could not calm, to Your powerful Love. A Love,I knew, that was greater than my squall. One bright morn, I awoke to the Son of Your Grace, streaming brightness into every fiber of my being. Not only had You banished the storm, my entire perpective had altered. I felt joy and love wash over me in Gracefilled waves of this new dawn. I knew, surely that all was well with my life, and the universe. Because You Love me! Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

That was a beautiful way of showing how God will bring anyone through any storm. That is the power of our Lord God. And yes he is a good God. God bless. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER... ISAIAH 54:17 |

Dear Ellie, He whispers to us, My Grace is sufficient to weather your storms and trials. Being rooted in His grace we DO feel loved! Thoughtful and wise poem. Thanks for sharing! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Ellie, this is a beautiful and personal psalm you've written. I love it when people write directly to God instead of in the "third person" as talking about him. Though those are also good in that they teach, there is something really precious and special about psalms written to our Father. thanks for sharing this. It holds alot of beauty. |

Ellie this brought tears to my eyes. Only because I can relate so well to it. I seem to have been in this storm for way to long now. I occasionally do peek out from it, but it don't last too long. I would love to have my "entire perspective altered." I am however, working on making a positive change in my life. Asking God to direct that of course. I just need more brightness in my life. This is truly a beautiful piece Ellie, and shows the strength of God ![]() <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

Beautiful Ellie! Reminds me of a song that goes "the winds and the waves obey His Will, Peace Peace be still" HE has everything under control, if we just let him take the wheel. God bless. |
