We have family in New England, who have lived through several bomb cyclones! And family in Hawaii, which has had flooding. And friends in Houston who endured Hurricane Harvey and its 40 inches of rain.
We usually have warning of impending bad weather and can take some steps to weather the storm.
We can take steps before any storm to prepare for it and help us reach safe harbor. And the steps we should take when we know a storm is coming are also the steps we should routinely take to sail through life.
What to do?

Remember God is sovereign over everybody and everything all the time.
Remember God loves you—believer in Christ—with an everlasting love.
Remember God uses the trials of life for good.
Remember God is with you.

Remember the great things He has done for you.
