We Have All Types Of Storms In Our Lives

Some types of storms are more complex to navigate than others. How we weather a storm reveals a great deal about our personality. Storms in your life will bring you down, but you must get backup and rise against them. If you let a storm in your life define you, you are not in control; the storm is in control, and I refuse to allow a storm to control my life. God knows we will have many storms in our lives, and he helps us rise above them and move forward.

Loss Of A Loved One

This is the worst kind of storm. People have days when they break down and cry when all their fond memories come crashing down all at once, like an avalanche. I try to remember what one woman told her children before she died. She told them If you cannot remember me with a smile, then don’t remember me at all. She also told you, You are crying for yourself, not for me. She said she would be in heaven and have no more pain and suffering as she was dying of cancer.

A Divorce

Some divorces can be settled amicably, while others are a total battle over who gets custody of the children, house, money, and even the family pet. One judge told one couple he could divide the dog in two to let them know how ridiculous they were getting in the divorce settlement. It worked, and the husband allowed his wife to keep the dog, as it was hers before their marriage.

Weather Storms

It is horrible to lose all of your family pictures and other heirlooms in a tornado, fire, earthquake, or other disaster. Losing a family member in a storm is the worst type of loss. A house, furniture, and trinkets can be replaced, but loved ones cannot. Disasters can strike at any time, so always be prepared to take shelter and get out of harm’s way if at all possible. Pray to God to help you navigate all types of storms you encounter daily.

Financial Burdens

It is challenging for families with minimum-wage jobs to make ends meet in today’s society, where prices are skyrocketing. Some people work 18-hour days and can barely afford their rent, utility bills, food, medicine, and other essential expenses. As a result, some people end up getting a divorce due to financial burdens, living out of their car, sleeping in parks or in warm areas such as warming shelters, or lying on top of heat grates.

We Must Make It Through Storms And Come Out Stronger

Health scares will eventually happen to all of us, and how you handle that will determine how long you live. If you think you will die, you will. If you think you will survive, most likely you will, as one can kill oneself off with worry alone. One Doctor told another person that I cannot save that man because he is determined he is going to die from his disease. Everyone needs purpose and meaning in their life. God made you for a specific purpose, and it is your mission to complete God’s purpose. Remember not to let anything break your stride; you have to keep on moving now, like the old song lyrics from years ago.

When Sadness Spreads A Veil Over You

When Sickness Hits Our Loved Ones

We become angry when someone we love is very sick, and we cannot help them except pray for God’s healing touch. It saddens one when there is no cure for an illness or a disease that a loved one gets. We ask God why he is letting this happen to our loved ones. Somedays, a person is completely covered and enveloped in sadness, and one wakes up crying. We think life is not fair, but no one is treated any differently as bad health and illness come to all of us eventually. Loss is hard for everyone. We develop long and lasting friendships and never want them to end. When our loved ones die, we feel like a boat drifting on the ocean, hitting every wave with great force and turbulence.

The Veil Cannot Be Lifted.

If we stay focused on the disease and not the person, sometimes all we see is the disease which is not fair to the person. One party said that is not my daughter anymore as all she saw was the disease. Please think of how bad her daughter felt when she said that right before her. Please think before you speak, and do not say hurtful things to sick or dying people, as they still have feelings. One party told a very ill person that they get the kind of disease they deserve right in church. That party missed the sermon’s point that day and what it means to attend church. They might as well stay home as they have not learned anything. You lift people in the church and pray to God to touch them with his healing power.

We Get Angry When We Are Told We Or A Loved One Will Not Get Better

We think why I and I say why not me as it happens to everyone eventually. We may be in denial and not talk about it or mention it. Death can come like a thief in the night. We may die suddenly of a heart attack or linger for years. Try to make the best of every day, be a good steward, and help spread God’s good works to the masses. We will be in Heaven someday with our family, friends, and pets, and the Veil of sorrow will be gone forever.

The Lord And Sadness

The Lord will destroy the Veil of sadness that is spread over everyone. When a loved one dies or becomes sick, a veil of sorrow embraces us. Somedays, we can hardly lift one foot in front of the other. On certain days if we keep swamped, the sadness will leave for a little while. Somedays, we can only sit down and rest as we feel empty and defeated inside. The Lord will comfort us on our darkest days if we pray for help. I have discovered that when I have prayed, the Lord has brought a person into my life, giving me hope to continue and live life to its fullest again. There is no more death and sadness in Heaven as the former has been defeated.

Scripture:

Isaiah 25:7 On that mountain, the Lord will destroy the Veil of sadness that covers all the nations. He will beat the gloom that is spread over everyone.
