When the boat is sinking

I know you are hurting, or things might not be so right today, for one reason or another that might not be necessarily connected to the loss of the people you love, or it might be the reason, things dont seem fine now.
But sometimes its hard but worth it to focus on your Maker. Sometimes its not about you. Its not about your job, your family, your spouse, your boyfriend, sometimes its all about Him.
I might be talking things that are hard for you to do right now, but Jesus did not let you go through some hard times to leave you there alone. How are you supposed to lift up your hands and worship him when he seems to have forgotten you in your times of hurt.
I felt I had to encourage someone, Praise is a refuge in the day of Trouble, even when the boat is sinking, and losses are counted, He deserves to be praised. This is not just a Christian thing, just some stuff that I would say because I am some religious outfit, there is a God out there, He is as real as the day and night, and no matter what doctrines you follow, when we finally put the everything aside, there is a God.
The fool has said in his heart,"there is no God".....Psalms 4:1
Grief is not the privilege of sinners, nor is it for politicians, scholars, christians, muslims, its a feeling for mankind. In those times, when eartquakes rock, and tsunamis pass, and diseases ravage, do you ever have time to think that the next guy must be some Hindu, or ... name it. I dont think so.
whatever it is , that makes your heart bleed right now, there is someone who doesnt depend, on the mobile phone, the internet, He is unlimitedly wireless, and He is as near as the distance between the ground and your kneeling knees.

Sing Praise to the Lord, you Saints of His,and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holy Name. For His anger is but for a moment, his favour is for life, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning Psalms 30:4-5
