Mark 4: 35-41
Jesus Calms the Storm
"That day at evening they left the crowd behind and went with Jesus in the boat he was already in. There were also other boats that went with them. A very bad wind came up on the lake. The waves were coming over the sides and into the boat, and it was almost full of water. Jesus was inside the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The followers went and woke him. They said, “Teacher, don’t you care about us? We are going to drown!” Jesus stood up and gave a command to the wind and the water. He said, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and the lake became calm. He said to his followers, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith? They were very afraid and asked each other, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the water obey him!”
As Christians when storms blast into our lives and it looks like all is disintegrating around us how easy is it to think “Jesus is sleeping, I’m on my own,” then get angry, “How can you let this happen to me Lord?”
