JESUS WILL CALM THE STORM

Mark 4:38But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?” 39Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence! He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died and it was perfectly calm. 40“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”…

This is one of the most exciting stories in the Bible when Jesus woke up and calmed the storm; Jesus even has authority over the elements of nature, just as He has authority over sickness, death, demons, sin and our lives.  Jesus is Lord, and He has never let us down, He is always with us; we just have to call on Him with the faith of a mustard seed, and trust that He will answer our request.

Father, You are not just a King over the people, but King over all nature as well; so we put our trust in You, that this storm too shall pass. Father, whenever we face a storm our faith gets weak and we turn to man for protection and guidance; even though we have been misled by man before, we still trust what we can see.  Lord, strengthen our faith and help us with our unbelief’s so we will trust what we cannot see, You.  Lord, remove all doubt and fear; and replace it with Jesus faith and courage so we will stand on Your Word without wavering.  Father, let us rejoice in You knowing that You will never leave or forsake us, and help us do our part.  Father, everything we have is Yours, even the elements of nature; so let us not be afraid, because You are still in control.  Father, teach us to turn to You in the midst of trouble, and forgive us for trying to handle things ourselves; Lord lead us to the peace of trusting in You, in Jesus name Amen
