To Calm The Storm

It seems to only get worse with every passing day and week.
You know I’m sick inside to see you like this.
There’s nothing I can do
to calm the storm inside your heart.
I hate it.
I want so badly to hold you and make it all go away.
I wish I could wrap your life in peace
and end the pain and confusion.
It breaks my heart to know I can’t.
You don't deserve this -
Life is never fair.

The only ounce of comfort is knowing that God’s still there.
He holds you, even when I can’t
And he loves you more than I ever could.
Life is never fair.
But the other, greater fact is
God loves you.
I pray you never forget it.

Author notes

Five minutes - very rough, but a truth I believe with all my heart is the only thing that can calm the storm inside.

    I had a huge storm inside in China, and that's exactly what finally overcame it--the clear realization through some crazy events that God does love me. So I say from experience you got it dead on. word
