Gifted Women of Faith® speaker Sheila Walsh offers powerful, heart-filled teaching on ten bedrock promises of God, providing the foundation for daily living with confidence, hope, and joy. Sheila unveils principles that provide unshakable security during even the most difficult times by weaving her hallmark storytelling, personal experiences, and applicable Scripture to help readers gain a trust in God that will sustain them for a lifetime. Below is an excerpt from God’s Shelter For Your Storm.

Many things in life do not feel as if they are working together
for good at all. We live in a fallen world, a broken planet. I no
longer expect anything to be the way it should be, but I take
great comfort, courage, and strength from the promise that in
the midst of the brokenness, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.
I would expect that the depth of His groaning corresponds to
the depth of our pain. There are times in life when words just
do not come. You may find yourself in a place that is darker
than you ever imagined, and you want to cry out, “How can this
work out for good?”

I want you to know that you have a Prayer Partner in
heaven, pleading for you before the throne of grace and mercy.
When you don’t even know what to pray, the Holy Spirit does.
He is God, which means He is all-powerful and all-knowing.

You are not alone.
…

As you reflect on your life, I pray that you can say with
absolute confidence that, although there have been many turns
in the road, God has used every bend to bring you under the
shelter of His loving arms.
