Real freedom and protection is found right here :)  It is so hard to explain to others how God's Word and walking in obedience give you freedom and protect you as storms can rage all around, but somehow you can be seeing all this darkness and still be in the light.  You can be hurting, but still at peace and joy can still bubble up to the surface in the middle of it all.  We have freedom to choose sooooo much in life about our decisions and how we will navigate ourselves through it all, but this is the only perfect way through to experience God's favor and to walk with Him each step!
