You are who You are

YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE- wonder where that came from?
I was listening to this song called "Praise You in this storm" by Casting crowns which talks about how we must praise God no matter what we're going through because of WHO HE IS. There's this line that goes " You are who You are, no matter where I am". And I was just thinking how most of the time we (or I anyway) praise God when something is going great but when things aren't that great i'm just like "Oh God, why me? Please help me, don't let me fail". I don't give Him the praise He alone deserves at all times. I need to praise Him always. Because of not who i am or what i've done or because of what He has done but because of WHO HE IS!

13Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "
15 God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. Exodus 3

Abba Father, help me to always lift Your name on High and when i'm in the middle of the storm, to remember WHO YOU ARE and praise You with all that i am. You are and always will be the great I AM. You deserve all glory, honor, praise and thanks. In the name of Jesus my Savior, AMEN!

Lyrics for Praise You in this storm.
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus: And I'll praise you in this storm and I will lift my hands for You are who You are no matter where I am and every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry to Youand raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you"and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
