I Will Praise You in This Storm

So, as per my night life, I was awake again last night....big shock and amazement. But then again, big deal, at least I wake up feeling ok and alert. If it was a case of feeling dopey and sleepy, I'd probably call the doc and get something stiff and strong to knock me out.

Anyway...got up, after spending some time praying and trying to stay focused....which lately hasn't been working at the best of times!
Anyways....again!

I got up to spend some purposeful prayer time with God and my bible...which I haven't actually taken out and read in quite some time. Thought and prayed a moment, then felt led to Job. I've never quite understood the story of Job...well, I get the whole "life shot to hell" point, but not how his friends were actually wrong in their advice and support. I had skim read it before and figured all they had to say was pretty right on. I think cuz that's what I would have said what I would have suggested and encouraged my friend Job to do.
Guess I'd be told to take a hike and shut up too then.
I'm not into explaining it all, or what or how they were wrong and yadda yadda...what my point is, is the word I got from God last night for ME.
Yep, Got me a word directly from God!! How cool is that? Long story short. Prayed Sunday along with Bill Johnson and prayed again last night for a specific word.
He answered and He gave.

Ya ready?

" I'm preparing you LeAnne ( He always spells my name right!) Hold tight to me"
So I had the audacity to ask:
" Good or bad, riches or failure?"
He said:
" Does it matter? Hold tight to Me"

Nope, it doesn't matter.
Cuz either way...I'm safe. I'm good.

I've sang a song so many times when things turn to sh** and I am beside myself with concern....and usually bawling my eyes out.

" I will praise you in this storm, cuz you are who you are...no matter where I am, and every tear I cry, you hold in your hand and though my heart is torn.....I will praise you in this storm"

And

"Though the fig tree may not blossom and there be no fruit on the vine....yet will I rejoice in the Lord"

And

" God will make a way, where there seems to be no way...he works in ways, we cannot see, he will make a way for me"

These songs have brought me such amazing strength and comfort. And I know...if I can praise Him in storms or in crappy times.....along with the good and easy?
I'll be the stronger for it, I'll be safe and secure.
I'll have all I need. Safety in my Fathers arms. What more could a girl ask for? I'm so thankful, so blessed and I'll do as I'm told..to the best of my understanding and ability....
I'll hold tight to Him and not worry about all the "what if's".
He's totally got me covered....He's promised.
