My Daily Musings-May 7th, 2026

A couple days ago, I walked to someone’s house in the rain. I held my umbrella over me, but my shoes still got wet, and the bottom of my pants soaked through. It didn’t stop the rain—but it helped me keep going.

I was reminded of this quote:
“An umbrella cannot stop the rain, but it allows us to stand in the rain. Faith in God may not remove our trials, but it gives us strength to overcome them.”

Life’s trials can feel like that steady rain—sometimes light, sometimes overwhelming, and sometimes lasting longer than we expected. Even with faith, we may still feel the sting of sorrow or the weight of hardship. But faith in our Heavenly Father becomes our covering, giving us strength to endure and courage to keep moving forward.

What are the “rains” you’re facing right now?
And how has your faith helped you stand, even when you still feel the storm?
