Finding Peace in the Storms of Life
Your Nightly Prayer for May 6, 2025

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE

 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33

SOMETHING TO PONDER

Recently my wife and I spent a few weeks helping many in North Carolina who had been impacted by Hurricane Helene. What was amazing to me was the faith that so many of these people continued to express. How often have we heard, “I would not have made it without the Lord.” While most of us may not have faced any hurricanes that destroyed our homes, we certainly have all faced storms in our lives that seem overwhelming at the time. In fact,  Jesus promised us these storms would come.

The thing is, while we sometimes turn and question God, what we often don’t think about is that perhaps God allowed these storms in order to draw us closer to Him. In order to draw us more securely to Him. Let’s face it, we do not grow closer to God through prosperity. Quite the opposite, I would say.

We need only to read the book of Job once in a while to remember our places in life. We can choose to complain and question, or we can choose faith. Through his complaints, Job chose faith. “Though He slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.” (Job 13:15)

Through all of his trials and struggles – through losing everything he had, including his family – Job found in himself hope in God. Maybe we can take comfort in that as we lay down to sleep. While it won’t change our circumstances, we can use it to change us and how we respond to those circumstances. Maybe we can find some peace knowing that the trials we are experiencing will result in drawing closer to God, if we let them.

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Heavenly Father, whether I feel it or not, I know you are right here with me. And I know deep in my heart that the struggles I am suffering right now will result in me drawing ever closer to you. And for that I thank you. In that I can find some amount of peace and rest. Help me, Lord. Help me to feel the trust that your will is being done. I pray this in the powerful name of Jesus.

THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON

1. Think of how Jesus must have felt on the cross when he felt forsaken by God.

2. Think of other trials you have been through before, and looking back, how they seemed like merely a blip on the screen.

3. Think of the times that faith in Jesus has pulled you through struggles and times of trials.
