“The boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves.” Mt 14:24 NKJV Talk about a person caught in a storm! Jeremiah could tell you the height of the waves and the speed of the wind. He realized how fast he was sinking, so he shifted his gaze. “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him’” (Lam 3:21-24 RSV). When Jeremiah turned his eyes away from the waves to look to God, he started to recite a quintet of promises: (1) “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.” (2) “His mercies never come to an end.” (3) “They are new every morning.” (4) “Great is your faithfulness.” (5) “The Lord is my portion.” The storm didn’t cease, but Jeremiah’s discouragement did. Paul talks about “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph 5:19 NKJV). Great hymns are a great help. They help you to get your eyes on the One who walks on the water and calms the storm. “Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my father; There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!”

Your required to have better grammar in you’re title.
Your =/= You’re
It is hard to take this church seriously when they don’t even know the difference.
****“The boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves.”****
Reminds me of the old Chinese communist song “When lost in the storm we look to the Helmsman” (Mao).
Today the parasites look to Obama.
As for me and my house, “ON CHRIST the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand...”
Thanks for the post - needed to hear it.
Yup! And there or their for "they're".
But the one that simply drives me bonkers is......"loose" for "lose".
i.e. "If they don't start to play better they're going to "loose" the game"................Arrrrrrgh!
What do they do when the nut becomes "loose" on the bolt? Do they spell out "luuuuse"?
