Title: Peace in the Storm

Key Passage: Mark 4:39 – “He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.”

Message:
Life is full of unexpected storms—sudden job loss, health issues, relationship struggles. These moments often cause fear and panic, just like the disciples experienced on the stormy sea. They were seasoned fishermen, yet they were terrified and questioned whether Jesus even cared.

But Jesus was in the boat. He may have seemed asleep, but He was fully aware of what was happening. With a word, He calmed the storm, revealing His power and authority over nature—and over our fears.

The storms in our lives are not a sign that Jesus has abandoned us. On the contrary, they are opportunities to deepen our trust in Him. When we call out to Him, He brings peace—not always by changing the situation immediately, but by calming our hearts in the middle of it.

Application:
Think about a current storm in your life. Invite Jesus into that place. Meditate on His power and presence, and choose faith over fear.

Prayer:
Jesus, I invite You into my storm today. Speak peace over my anxious heart. Help me to trust that You are with me and You care deeply. Thank You for being my refuge. Amen.
