We can learn something very important about God from each of these stories, something that will give us the strength of heart we need to “get back up again” no matter what comes our way.
Jesus’s disciples found the emotional strength to carry out their incredible task by being in prayer continually.
Life is unquestionably a roller coaster reaching great heights and then sudden, dizzying falls. Without convictions to anchor and stabilize us, we can begin losing faith in God and become unsteady.
Through music, we can go from being absent and distant to loving and attached. In other words, we can go from “MIA to present.”
When understood and taken to God, emotions create an intimate relationship with God and friends like no other.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
How do you respond when you go through storms in life? Emotional storms? Do they drive you closer to God and make you stronger in your convictions? Or do storms leave you shaken and weakened in your faith?
