The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 12:4 (NLT)
4 A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 70:4 (NLT)
4 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "God is great!"
The Word of God for encouragement:
Luke 8:23-25 (HCSB)
23 and as they were sailing He fell asleep. Then a fierce windstorm came down on the lake; they were being swamped and were in danger.
24 They came and woke Him up, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to die!" Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. So they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" They were fearful and amazed, asking one another, "Who can this be? He commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey Him!"
My observation:
I can witness to the truth expressed in the selected passage from the gospel of Luke. No matter how deep the troubled waters you may be in, Jesus will not take you where he cannot and will not keep you from drowning.
When the fierce winds blow upon and into your life, know that there is a God in heaven who is watching over His dear people. Jesus promised that He would never leave you or forsake you. Live by His promises, and you will never be disappointed.
Hebrews 13:5 (HCSB)
5 Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.
Anchor your faith in God, and when the strong winds of adversity blow, and the fierce storms flood your life, know that you have a helper. Watch and listen for His voice saying to the storms, "Peace, be still".
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so grateful that you are God all the time, and that you are always a God who is on time.
Father God, I thank you for being my rock, shelter, and my deliverer. Lord, thank you for being my all in all, and that when I place my faith in you, I can rest in the assurance that everything is going to be all right. Amen.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (HCSB)
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
