  1. Thank you for the update on YOU. I think and pray for you often. I have no doubt God is working in your life. I’m so sorry you are bedridden.

    This week I have been down and out with an illness. (Just the flu, nothing serious) I admit I have grumbled a bit and wondered why God allowed such a thing as I had lots to accomplish this week.

    But in the slowness, some surprising truths have come out, and I see God is working. Your post reminded me of that.

    Thank you!

    1. First, thank you so much for your prayers! That means so much to me! Second, I am so sorry to hear you’ve been ill and I am praying for a speedy recovery! I am happy that in the midst of you not being well you got a little encouragement from the post!! Thank you so much!!

  2. I am so glad to be reassured, Diane, that He is never truly asleep during our trials. Even when I cannot feel His presence, even when I cannot see Him working, He is always attentive to our cries for deliverance. I wonder, in this trial, if deliverance is what we really want or need? Maybe He’s doing something so big we cannot comprehend its magnitude? Thank you for these encouraging thoughts!

  3. Thank you Diane for your article, I came here just searching about articles on Jesus and sleeping in the storm.
    I was praying and the thought dropped in my mind that can we get to the point where we are also asleep with Jesus in the storm that we are totally oblivious to the storm going on all around us such that we get to the other side without ruffles. Take the story of Prophet Jonah as an example as well?

    1. Yes we can certainly sleep in the storm with Him as we learn to trust. Jonah I think is more an example of his disobedience to the instruction of God but I certainly think that Jonah got to that point during that time. He learned in that experience.

  4. I’m passing for a similar situation right now. I have been praying for an eye illness I have for 7 years. Every time I try to goyo a doctor to get checked god gives some signs that I understand that he says don’t go. Then I have been suffering because I can’t do my job properly making going to my job everyday with a lot of fear. But in those my past years I know I was committing a sin. Now after all this suffering I have started to being obedient to god fully. There was only 1 sin I was comitting that I’m trying to eradicate. Sometimes I feel god is sleeping and that he doesn’t care. I have begged him but nothing happens. I daily try to speak him. I know he wants the best for me. What I’m trying right now is to be fully obedient to him. I can’t deny I’m terrible sad and discouraged almost everyday but he is our lord.

    1. Miguel I am so sorry you are suffering. Please get medical attention for your eyes. God would not want you to suffer and would want you to get help for it. So please see a doctor. God certainly does heal but He often uses the gifting doctors have to bring us that healing. He does not want you to be fearful and in pain.
