Jesus got into the boat and his disciples followed him.
Without warning, a fierce storm burst upon the lake, with
waves sweeping the boat. But Jesus was asleep.
waves sweeping the boat. But Jesus was asleep.
The disciples woke him up and cried, “Lord save us! We are lost!”
But Jesus answered, “Why are you so afraid, you of little faith?”
But Jesus answered, “Why are you so afraid, you of little faith?”
Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and sea;
and it became completely calm.
The disciples were astonished. They said, “What kind of man is he?
Even the winds and the sea obey him.”
Even the winds and the sea obey him.”
---- mine,
Be not afraid, no matter how high the waves, how terrifying the winds, how great the storm that lashes around you, and your life is tossed about by the violence of the elements, and you believe that the power of the storm will destroy you, and you will perish. How can it be so when I, the Lord of the sky, the seas, the storm, and all in creation, am in the boat with you? Have faith and believe that even while I ask you to trust Me in the eye of the storm and for as long as I desire it, you will not perish for I AM with you. Not a hair of your head will be harmed, for you are under my protection. You are marked by the Holy Spirit, you are a daughter of the God who created you in love. You are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb and you are heir with Me to the Kingdom of My Father and not just you, ---- my own, but all those you pray for. In due time, I will answer all your prayers and you will bless My Name, and you will rejoice, and your heart will be glad.
