Reading: Luke 8.22-25 NLT

One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.

The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”

The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!”

Prayer: Lord Jesus – You calmed the wind and raging waves on the Sea of Gallilee… calm the spiritual and emotional storms in our lives that threaten to drown us. Strengthen our faith and confidence as we cry out to You in moments… of desperation… of helplessness… of weakness… of brokenness… of sin. Speak to us a Word of help and hope… a Word of strength and healing… a Word of mercy and grace and forgiveness. Speak to us today… a Word of love. Amen.
