Peace in the Storm

Verse for the Day: Isaiah 43:16

I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea.
(Isaiah 43:16 - New Living Translation)

I'm praying for the proverbial sea to be parted today. Whether God does or doesn't, it's good to be reminded that He can. If He doesn't, still I trust Him. Our God is an awesome God. With wisdom and power, He reigns. Never forget, or never be afraid, to call on Him:

"...you refuse to ask for my help. You have grown tired of me!" (Isaiah 43:22 - NLT)

Let that not be said of us.

PITS Featured in Christians with Chronic Illness Blog Carnival

The May edition of the "Christians with Chronic Illness" blog carnival is now posted at http://chronicillnesssupport.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/christians-with-chronic-illness-blog-carnival-2, and I'm honored that a recent post from Peace in the Storm was included ("An Opportunity for Joy"). As many of you know, PITS is largely comprised of Bible verses and passages that have been a source of strength to us as we have battled through Elizabeth's chronic health conditions.

Whether you are enduring chronic illness yourself or not, please check out the "Christians with Chronic Illness" blog carnival for links to some touching, powerful, wonderfully written articles from 15 different blogs. You'll either find inspiration for your own life, or you'll experience the blessing of suffering with those who suffer, or both. I promise it will be worth your time!
