Entered afraid when the storm threatened their ship in the middle of the sea, the disciples had to wake Jesus who was sleeping.
*He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, « Quiet ! Be still ! » Then the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.*(Mark 4:39)
Jesus was with them in the same boat. We can imagine if Jesus was not in the boat with them, what was going to happen to them.
Of course, they would perish.
It is the same for our lives:
We go across the storms of life that we are afraid of.
If we do not have with us Jesus so that he could tell them to be silent, they carry us.
Fortunately, among those who have accepted him as their King and their saviour, he is always there during the storms of life, to say things like: * »Silence, shut up ! »*(v. 39)
When the storms of life threaten us, let us turn first to Jesus, and let him fill us with the peace that comes from being with him.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, reminds us of always resorting to your son when the storms of life threaten us.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
