Dear Lord, when I read this report of You being asleep in the boat when the squall came up, it seemed so amazing.
In general, people get more anxious when things intensify and we begin to feel out of control.
And that may be the key – You knew that nothing could happen that was out of Your control!
But why didn’t the disciples know that?
They had witnessed You performing many, many miracles. Not only healing the sick and lame and blind, but raising people from the dead! So if they had listened to Your words and trusted them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake,” it seems they would have had more confidence in the outcome, squall or no.
Lord, I want to be so confident with You that when You tell me, “Let’s do something” I will trust You so completely that there is no question of whether it will be accomplished or not.
I want to do what I see You doing. If You are resting, that’s my cue that I can rest too. Because if it doesn’t bother You, and I am with You, then it shouldn’t bother me.
So when the hard part comes, the storm, I want to be sure I’m doing my part. Rather than quake with fear, or anxiously try and control the outcome, help me be so confident trusting You, that I too am calm and at rest.
If I am with You, it will all work out. Either I will reach the destination with You, or I will perish: in which case I will also be with You. It’s a win-win! Amen
If you are struggling with worry in the midst of this storm, please call 1-888-388-2683 and someone will pray with you at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association 24/7.
