Sometimes storms are predictable, which enables you to prepare and possibly decrease the impact. However, there are other times when a storm blows in suddenly, unexpectedly and wreaks havoc to everyone in its path. There is one thing that is certain and that is that storms of life will come. They will come to destroy, tear down, disrupt, and divide things and people alike. However, there is hope that you can survive the storm. God is able to bring you through any storm, if you just call him. Once you realize this certainty, then you become better equipped to deal with future storms. The Lord is the only one that can prepare us to deal with the stresses of life. He is our helper (Hebrews 13:6). He is our father, teacher, friend, protector, provider, healer and so much more. When we walk close to Him, He will walk close to us. (Scripture, Job 23:10) "But He knows the way that I take, and when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold). He will guide us, through the storms of life. Although we may face difficult situations, if God is with us, we can make it through.

Sometimes it seems like no matter how hard you try, how often you pray, how many times you repent, how certain you are that God is going to recue you, you still find yourself trapped in a storm. The Bible actually tells us at those times that God is asking us to make a stand. But standing isn't always easy. This book will teach you how to keep your faith while standing with God in the face of trials and tribulations.

"Why is this happening to me? God, where are you? I don't understand! Am I being punished?" If you have suffered tragedy--whether it's the death of a loved one, a recent divorce, health-related issues, a sudden job loss, or even betrayal of a close friend--these questions have probably crossed your mind. Our first reaction seems to be "What have I done to deserve this?" Unfortunately, life doesn't always go as we wish. Think about your life being a ship that's sailing the ocean. During your voyage, you will face some major storms that will try to sink your ship. God's desire is to bring you through these storms so you can smile again. If you will choose to trust Him, you will become a strong, experienced sailor and have the ability to enjoy life again. This book was written to help you survive your storm. Don't give up! God has a plan just for you! As you read Surviving the Storms of Life, ask God to answer your questions. This book will offer practical steps for survival and encourage you to crawl onto your Heavenly Father's lap and be comforted. He will not leave or abandon you!
