Douglas Kashorek starts off this way:
The person who waits until he’s in the midst of a struggle to turn to God is like the one who doesn’t repair his roof when the sun shines because it isn’t raining. The rain will come; crises hit our lives like storms. The question is: are you prepared spiritually to meet them (Psalm 1)?
