During the stormy moments of our life when our very souls are in fear of drowning, it will seem like God is asleep. But what calms the storms in life is not that all of our problems suddenly disappear but that within them, we realize that because God is still in charge, all will be well – whiplash, bruises, ransacked houses, alcoholic spouses, lost houses, lost jobs, loneliness, and the shadow of death itself notwithstanding. All will be well because God is still Lord.
