Is it well with your soul?

American businessman Horatio Spafford, whose four daughters drowned when the ship they and their mother were traveling on sank in 1873, wrote a hymn in response to that tragedy that goes like this:,"When peace like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrow like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, 'It is well, it is well, with my soul.' "

Is it well with your soul when everything you hold dear crumbles around you?  When the waves of this life crash upon you, make sure you anchor yourself with unwavering faith in the goodness of God. Make prayer and worship with your family a priority and in the sunshine or rain of life, like Spafford, you will discover an inner strength you never imagined.
