Faith Turns To Fear

One of the reasons I created this blog is to serve as a venue for self expression. However, I always find it difficult to put in to words those things that are dearest to my heart. I have always attempted but failed.

Things are not looking up for our family these days. There’s just too many concerns that popped up in the past week and I can’t help but worry. I know that I should entrust those issues to God but even in my prayers, I find myself struggling for words. Despite that, I am confident that He understands.

The clouds are gathering and my faith is turning to fear.

Lyrics of
Sometimes He Comes In The Clouds
by Steven Curtis Chapman

These are the places I was so sure I’d find Him
I’ve looked in the pages
And I’ve looked down on my knees
I’ve lifted my eyes in expectation
To see the sun still refusing to shine, but…

Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes our faith can only grow
When we can’t see
So, sometimes He comes in the clouds

Sometimes I see me, a sailor out on the ocean
So brave and so sure as long as the skies are clear
But when the clouds start to gather
I watch my faith turn to fear, but…

Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes our faith can only grow
When we can’t see
So…

Sometimes He comes in the rain
And we question the pain
And wonder why God can seem so far away
But time will show us
He was right there with us, and…

Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes our faith can only grow
When we can’t see
So, sometimes He comes in the clouds

He comes in the clouds

I am thankful for songs like this that manages to lift my spirit. If you decide to say a prayer for our family today, you have my gratitude.
