Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me, For my soul finds shelter and safety in You, And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure Until destruction passes by. I will cry to God Most High, Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan]. He will send from heaven and save me; He calls to account him who tramples me down. Selah. God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth. ¶My life is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe out fire— The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth. They set a net for my steps; My very life was bowed down. They dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah. ¶My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing, yes, I will sing praises [to You]! Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praises to You among the nations. For Your faithfulness and lovingkindness are great, reaching to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds. Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.

God is using the storm to mature you, to strengthen you, and to elevate you. Hold onto Jesus; He will never let you go.
Discover how you can let the confidence of your life trust in your GOD! Forget about the people, relationships, the job, world news, current affairs, and all the things that seem to slip away from our control. David says, "My soul trusts in you.... For my soul is among the lions (the Godly), and I lie among the men on fire (the prophets)..." and he strengthened himself in the lord when everyone was against him. He always went with the purposes that God put in him rather than the thoughts and strategies that the people tried to push on him. He never let the circumstances affect him, he was a man whose soul trusted in HIM!
