Throughout our lives we go through many storms. Some are big, some are small; but a storm is a storm. These storms may come to teach us a lesson, to bring someone closer to God, etc. But when a storm approaches people sometimes panic, they don't know what to do, or where to turn. There's a simple solution: turn to God.
When storms come up in people's lives the first thing some people do is shy away from God. That's the last thing you want to do. When you come to a storm in your life (whether it's violent or calm) you need to wake God up. Let Him know that you are having some difficulty in your life. Don't be afraid to give God a little nudge and wake him up so he knows you need His help. God always wants to help and he will never turn His back to you when you ask for help.
This makes me reflect on the many storms that have passed through my life. I made it through some really rough ones and yeah I prayed to God sometimes for guidance through these storms, but I never really went in and woke Him up. Before this year I would never have had the courage to wake God up when I needed Him, but after all the growth I've had I think I would wake Him up. Sometimes you need to get God's attention and be like hey over here! God can be asleep a lot, so he just needs a little nudge to let him know you want his attention.
So how will you wake God up: a gentle, soft nudge or pull the pillow from under his head?
