The Lord will either calm your storm . . . or allow it to rage while He calms you.

Very true. Recently I've experienced that even when God doesn't solve my biggest struggles or questions immediately, He does send enough encouragement in other smaller ones to remind me to hang on to Him until I see why. God never allows pain for no reason. When I finally stop feeling sorry for myself and ask Him why, He reminds me "I don't do this just for the fun of it you know. I wouldn't put you through this if I wasn't preparing you for something. Trust me that when I send you through pain or disappointment it's because I'm preparing you for something bigger than you could handle without this."
