I have been afraid of storms for as long as I can remember but have always been interested in studying them and things like that. I hate being afraid of storms but I just can't help it! This isn't even the start of monsoon season and I am already scared. Please Help!

I don't know who you are but I request you to read what is said here.

If thunder is frightening you, know that what is death (electric charge) passes seconds ago when you hear thunder. So don't be a foolish child to be afraid of thunder.

As regards rain storm, know the saying, ' Wind, Water and Wife. Accept them as they come'. You can't stop them. Only thing you can do go in a shade. That's all.

Dear afraid of storms,

Look to God to take away your fears. King David [of David and Goliath fame] once said, "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." Only Jesus can take away your fears. I have always loved lightning storms. I see the power of God displayed in them, and it makes me aware of how awesome and majestic He is. [The verse I quoted is in the Psalms, by the way]. By the way, I love Arizona, and I have been there a few times. Remember, ask God for His help in overcoming your fears. His love outweighs fear any day. All the very best from Him and me.
