Rain

You know what it's like to be caught in a rainstorm? Imagine being a little child, about 1 or 2 years old, walking with your parents through the woods. All of a sudden, it starts to rain. Before long, it's just pouring! The rain pounds on your head, the lightning flashing and the thunder crashing, the trees swaying. You can't see anything beyond the storm. To you, as a little child, the storm is your reality. You begin shrieking at the top of your lungs, and your parents finally realize how terrified you are. They pick you up, and hold you close, whispering "I love you! We're gonna make it! I love you!"

Now, you're older. You have these moments, these storms, where nothing seems to go right. Eventually, all your stresses and problems build up, and you just can't take it anymore. Do you call out to God? Or try to make it through on your own? Hopefully, you cry out to God. Because quite frankly, you can't do it on your own. If you cry out to Him, He'll raise you up, hold you close to his side, and whisper "I love you! It'll be alright! I love you!"
