[Stay Strong] Storms

"The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger,but for deliverance from fear.
>
> It is the storm within which endangers him, not the storm without."
     - Ralph Waldo Emerson
>
> Life is full of storms.  Some are quick mild storms, while others appear to be huge Category 5 hurricanes.
>
> Avoiding storms should be a goal for all of us but it certainly is not possible to avoid them all.
>
> Many of us are battling our own personal storms as we speak!
>
> If we can accept and fully expect to be hit with a storm at any time, and prepare ourselves mentally for anything that may be thrown at us, WE CAN WEATHER ANY STORM IMAGINABLE!!
>
> As Emerson so eloquently put it, it is not so much what life throws at us, it is how we react internally that matters. 
>
> Pray for the removal of that wasted, dreaded, potential limiting FEAR, not that we avoid the storms of life altogether!!
>
> Facing storms and surviving them only serves to strengthen us!!!
>
> Bring them on...embrace them as the seas get rough and the sky grows dark and the wind starts whipping!! 
>
> You will sail through it unscathed if you banish the fear and have the faith that this storm shall pass!!
>
> and ALL storms do pass!!!!
>
> If we can master that internally and prepare in advance for the rough seas, nothing can impede out progress or stop our march toward peace and joy!!!
>
> Nothing!!
>
> We control only that .... And can start this very moment if we choose!!!
>
> Stay Strong!!
