Chiiiile… storms will come whether you’re ready or not. Sometimes they creep in quietly, like a drizzle that turns into a downpour, and other times they hit like a hurricane, knocking down everything you thought was secure. Either way, the storm shows up. And let’s be real — storms don’t feel spiritual at first. They feel unfair. They feel exhausting. They feel like one more thing piled on top of a life that already feels too heavy. But here’s the truth you need to hold onto today: the storm is not the end of you. In fact, it might just be the beginning of a new version of you.
See, storms aren’t always punishment — sometimes they’re preparation. God will use the rain to water seeds you didn’t even know you planted. He’ll let the wind push things out of your life that you were too afraid to release. He’ll strip away false securities, shaky foundations, and people who were never meant to stay. And while it may feel chaotic while you’re in it, storms have a way of clearing the air so that when the clouds finally break, you see more clearly than ever before.
But let’s be real about it — walking through storms isn’t pretty. You will cry. You will question. You might even get angry at God. That’s human. Don’t let anybody tell you you’re not faithful because you feel the weight of the storm. Even Jesus, in His darkest hours, prayed for the cup to pass Him. Faith is not about pretending the storm doesn’t hurt; it’s about trusting that even while it hurts, God is still in control.
So instead of asking, “Why me, Lord?” shift your question to, “What are you showing me, Lord?” That one shift changes everything. Because if you can believe that the storm is working for you and not against you, you’ll stop fearing the rain and start looking for the seeds it’s watering. You’ll begin to recognize that storms don’t come to break you — they come to build you, to cleanse you, and to prepare you for the harvest that’s waiting on the other side.

Father, thank You for being my shelter in every storm. Even when the winds rage and the rain pours, remind me that I am never alone.

Let this storm water the seeds of my purpose so that I may walk in the fullness of who You designed me to be. In Jesus’ name, amen.
With love, truth, and the kind of grace that doesn’t sugarcoat,
