Sometimes He Calms the Storm
lyrics by Tony Wood and Kevin Stokes
All who sail the sea of faith
Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered "Peace be still"
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child
He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we're shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered "Peace be still"
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child

How is your mom doing? I'll keep you in prayer. I'd ask that you'd do the same for me. I have to preach Sunday morning (literally.)
2 Corinthians 1:14 Not for that we have domination over your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith ye stand.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sigh
2 Corinthians 4:8-18 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Hebrews 11:1,6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...But without fiath it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Faith--it's a must have in this life. We all need it, and God wants us to have it. *Lord increase my faith! Help my unbelief!*
My pastor preached on faith sunday night. Well, whether that is what his main message was or not, that is the message that was sent to my heart and soul. Just the one that was needed also! God always knows just the moment that you can take no more, and you need that brand new touch. He's waiting there faithfully and ready to give it to you as well if you will just claim it.
I just thought I would share a few scriptures of faith with you all.
