The wise man in the storm prays to God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers him, not the storm without.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
This quote is something we should all remember. We need to be watchful for the things within and without that can come between us and God. We need to be careful that we do not let anything stop us being as close to God as it is possible for us to be. The enemy will launch many attacks in many different ways to try and break the bond we have with God. He know he can not stop God from loving us, but he can have a good shot at driving us away from God. We need to pray always and ask him to help us with that which threatens to get in the way. Once the storms within are calmed, the ones without will seem so much smaller.
