Standing on the Promises of God
One of my favorite old hymns is “Standing on the Promises”. It reminds us the storms of life will blow, but God’s promises enable us to face them with courage.

Truths about God are enough to begin and end everyday with a song of joy. He is powerful, filled with lovingkindness, and ready to be our refuge and strength.
We can’t begin to understand His purposes for our pain, but we can rest assured that He is doing something good in His eternal plan.
Eight months after receiving “guard” as my focus word for 2022, I’m beginning to appreciate its relevance to my life in ways I hadn’t imagined.
Storms will come and go. God’s promises help us navigate the wind and waves to a safe harbor. We can trust Him and not be afraid.
Today’s blog is an excerpt from my book, Keeping Hope Alive: Devotions for Strength in the Storm. May it encourage you when you’re at a loss about how to pray.
God has purposes yet unseen for our lives, too. Every one of the hardships we experience are part of the pruning and honing necessary to prepare us.
Keep your minds focused on the Truth as we ride out the storm. None of this has taken the Lord by surprise. He sees us and He prays for us.
Life with its uncertainties can feel scary at times, but I hang onto hope by focusing on God’s promises, His faithfulness, and His sovereignty.
Our circumstances may leave us feeling traumatized. But keeping our eyes on the unchanging Christ will help us weather the storm.
Fear is rampant but it needn’t paralyze us. Here’s how we can move from fear to freedom.
When I feel afraid, Psalm 107 speaks to me. One section tells of sailors whose ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged to the depths.
When the storms of life blow in on us, we’re faced with a choice. How should we respond? For starters, let’s not allow our emotions to dictate our actions.
“Lord, help!” Almighty God hears these two-words prayers and moves into action on behalf of those who utter them. Amazing, isn’t it?
