In addition to weather forecasts that predict occasional inclement conditions and heavy precipitation, our own lives may include difficult “storms.” Like Jesus’ disciples out on a boat in the rough sea, we may feel the waves tossing and fear the waters will overwhelm us. These storms of life can involve physical or emotional suffering, personal or family struggles, fractured relationships or increased stress and anxiety due to the daily expectations. Remember though, Jesus is in the boat with you, keeping you from sinking, if only you take his hand. The One who cries out: “Take courage, it is I...do not be afraid.” Do not rely on yourself to calm the seas of life. Rest in God and he will bring you peace.
