Stormy circumstances are inevitable. Although our first 

reaction may be to run from the problem, we can instead ask

 God to teach us how to trust Him to navigate us through the storm.

When life feels like a storm-tossed sea
With crashing waves of pain and grief,
Turn to the Lord and trust in Him,
He’ll give you peace and bring relief.

Better to go through the storm with Christ than to have

 smooth sailing without Him.
