Sarah Walton was feeling like life was just getting back to normal again when her husband

Jeff had some hard news. He waited until the kids went to bed and he sat me down and he said,

so we have another chapter for our book. Lost my job again. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast

with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Choosing Gratitude.

For June 18th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

It's one thing when things don't go the way you want them to.

You don't get the promotion you were hoping for.

Or your kids just can't seem to sit still.

It's what a meteorologist might refer to as a light rain.

Sometimes though, the intensity gets turned up.

And you find yourself in the middle of a downpour. This could be a serious health

challenge, financial difficulties, or severe relational confidence. And you wonder if you'll make it through the storm. If you're married, you may wonder if

your marriage will make it through the storm. In the midst of it all, we need to remember that God

is not absent in those storms. In fact, there's an interesting pair of verses in Psalm 107. Verse 25 says,

He commanded and raised the stormy wind which lifted up the waves of the sea. Have you thought of God

as being not only aware of, but behind those circumstances in your life? But then we come to verse 29 of Psalm 107.

It says he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

You know, in the midst of our storms, we need to learn to look up to the one who sometimes

makes the stormy winds come, but in his way and in his time,

he also calms those storms.

Today on Revive Our Hearts, we have some seasoned storm survivors.

Here's Dana Gresh to introduce our guests.
