## The Storm is Passing
We’ve all stood in that grocery store parking lot, looking up at a sky that’s turned an unkind shade of bruised purple. You can smell the rain coming, feel the wind picking up, and for a moment, it feels like the sun has resigned for good.
Life has a way of mimicking that horizon. Sometimes the "storm" isn't weather; it’s a season of trouble that seems to stall right over your head. It’s loud, it’s soaking, and it’s exhausting. It is okay to acknowledge that it’s tough. Pretending the wind isn't howling doesn't make the shelter any warmer.
But here is the thing about storms: **They are, by definition, a temporary atmospheric event.**
No matter how dark the clouds get, they are always moving. They have a beginning, a peak, and—inevitably—an end. The sun doesn’t have to "try" to exist; it’s always there behind the gray, waiting for its cue to break through. You will see the light again. You will dry off.
### Strength for the Rain
If you’re caught in the downpour right now, keep these truths tucked in your pocket:
* **Psalm 30:5**
> "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
>
* **Isaiah 43:2**
> "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
>
* **2 Corinthians 4:17**
> "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
