I wrote this post after my father-in-law's funeral and my wife's operation, but before my family faced an earthquake and two typhoons in less than two months.

This week has been hard.
And for some of us, it may be about to get harder.
My posts have been on how we can recover if our sins have caused us issues, and why we should have faith in God in the storms of life.
I hope these studies bless and encourage you👇

Have you ever cried out for help to God and wondered if He heard you?

Or worse, if He even cared?

Are you doing it right now?

I hope you find encouragement in the latest post in my 'Storm Season' series 👇

Often the hardest thing to do is recognise the harm we have caused by the wrong things we have done and repent of them.

But it also has the greatest reward, when we choose to follow Jesus.

If today a storm of life is afflicting you because of something you have done or are still doing, then there is still hope.

You can always repent and follow Jesus.

Often we are not responsible for the life storm that iis afflicting us.

But sometimes we are.

It's in those times that we must open our eyes to the harm we are causing and repent.

Don't believe the lie: Christians can have mental issues too.

The difference is that we have Someone who understands and is able to help.

Do you struggle with despair? Fear? Loneliness?

You are not alone. Many Bible characters felt the same as you - some of them were even well-known.

Like Elijah.
