WHEN THE STORM RAGES <\/p>\n

04-07-2014<\/p>\n

When you are in a fix and feeling blue,
\nIf things go wrong and you’re in a stew,
\nDon’t look within as if you’re the boss,
\nLift up your eyes to the blessed Cross.<\/p>\n

God sees your trials, and He has a Plan,
\nLet go of your fears and take His Hand.
\nTrust in the Lord with all your might,
\nHe knows the way in the darkest night.<\/p>\n

God never fails, His sacred Word is sure,
\nThough big waves assail, you will endure.
\nThe clouds will part and winds will cease,
\nFears will vanish as you embrace His peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
