The Song That Finds Me In The Storm

“Praise You in This Storm” by Casting Crowns

Some songs are more than just music. They become anchors, reminders of God’s nearness, even when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

For me, that song has always been “Praise You in This Storm” by Casting Crowns.

This song has a way of finding me exactly when I need it most. It has shown up on the radio in the car during moments of deep grief. It has played unexpectedly in the background of social media videos. It has appeared on Spotify just as I was scrolling through trying to settle my spirit.

It has come to me in times when I was not sure what I needed, but somehow God knew.

When my dog passed away and I felt a quiet, aching sorrow, the song played.
When my aunt passed and the loss hit in unexpected waves, it found me.
When I was struggling through relationship wounds and confusion, it was there again.

Each time, it felt like a whisper from heaven: “I still see you. I’m still here.”

The lyrics speak to that tension so many of us feel, loving God and still questioning why something hurts so much. Trusting Him and still feeling broken. It reminds me that praise is not only for the peaceful seasons. It is also for the storms.

“I’ll praise You in this storm, and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are, no matter where I am...”

These words have helped me lift my eyes. Not to ignore the pain, but to anchor myself to the One who holds me through it.

A Note For You
If you are walking through a storm of your own, let this song wrap around you. It does not fix the pain, but it gives it a place to rest. It reminds you that even when the sky is dark, your praise still matters and God is still holding on.
