The Christian singer and songwriter Natalie Grant shared a profound insight into facing life’s storms. According to her, people often expect the storm to cease when Jesus appears. However, she referenced a story in the Bible where the disciples found themselves in the middle of a storm despite Jesus being present. She then imparted a thoughtful perspective on this scenario.
“We are so busy begging God to stop the storm. We are busy wanting him to stop whatever the chaos is that’s happening, to just get us out. That we don’t take a moment to realize… ‘Jesus, I don’t need you to get me out of the storm. I need to recognize that you’re with me in the middle of the storm,’” she explained.

Embrace the Process
Furthermore, she emphasized that the turmoil surrounding individuals did not have to dictate their peace. Grant believed that they could still experience peace amid the storm and uncertainty, even when unsure of the path ahead because God was with them.
Eventually, she emphasized, “Instead of begging God to get you out of it, or to make it known which way to go. Go, ‘God, what can I learn about who you are in the middle of it?’” Afterward, she proceeded to share a beautiful prayer that individuals could use to declare whenever they face struggles. She uttered, “Help me not to despise the process. Help me to actually embrace the process. So, I can learn more about not only who you are, but in the process, you’ll also teach me more about who I am.”
