  1. Music: When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul."

  2. TOM: There had been a terrible storm, lightning had struck a tree by our house and it came crashing through our roof

  3. MARIE: My son, Brian, was riding his bike home from school when a drunk driver drifted out of his lane and crashed into him.

  4. JARED: I never thought that my simple experimentation with drugs would one day result in my losing my home, my wife, my kids.

  5. It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.Tho' Satan should buffet, tho' trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul

  6. TOM: Thankfully, we weren't home when the tree fell. But the damage was extensive and we couldn't live in the house for over three months.

  7. MARIE: Brian's condition was critical; I was not prepared for the sight of him hooked up to tubes and machines breathing for him.

  8. JARED: Meth destroyed my life. I am living on the street. My kids are in foster care ... I can't even see 'em.

  9. Music: It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul. My sin- O the bliss of this glorious thought. My sin- not in part but the whole. Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord O my soul.

  10. Tom: After the initial shock wore off, I was consumed with battles. Fights with the insurance company and contractors, and it was taking its toll on my marriage, big time.

  11. Marie: My time was spent between despair over Brian’s condition and my hatred toward the driver that hit him….I wanted him dead.

  12. Jared: I was suicidal. I wanted to die. I couldn’t stand the thought of me.

  13. Music: It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul. And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend. Even so - it is well with my soul.

  14. TOM: One day I was reading my Bible ... MARIE: One day in prayer after the funeral ... JARED: One day after attending my NA meeting ... ALL: God spoke to me!

  15. TOM: His word reminded me that my trials are nothing compared to what He did on the cross.

  16. MARIE: God met me in prayer and showed me how to forgive ... He had lost a Son too.

  17. Jared: He spoke to me through my sponsor who shared Jesus with me. I am forgiven and I am learning to walk in His grace.

  18. Music: It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul
