I have never been aboard a boat in the midst of a tempest as the decuples were

Even though they were seasoned fishermen, when the storm hit the boat with full force they were struck with great fear for their lives

In a great panic, they went over to the sleeping Jesus and woke Him saying “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

There are many storms in life not just raging waters, are we any braver or any more faithful than the decuples?

I know from an unexpected experience just how much the storm of trouble shook my faith, causing me to panic as if I was about to drown

I admit that it was easy for me to tell someone else to have faith and trust God and let go of worrying once they had prayed

How much harder it was to take my own advice in the midst of my storm, even though it was insignificant in comparison to the trial and hardships of St Paul

Even though my storm was puny compared to Paul, I panicked I doubt I worry, but through this storm, God was teaching me and revealing truths that I had not wanted to even acknowledge when I was an unrepented sinner

The storm waters I find myself in seem to be getting deeper that I am unable to shake off the fear of drowning, but even so, the situation is making me trust in God more than ever before

Even though God has answered many prayers and bestowed many blessings on my family and me, then why do I find myself full of uncertainty?

Please Pray for me, as I pray you to have stronger faith in the storms of life
