The Storms of Life

What do you do when the storms of life seem to be raging against you?

One time Jesus was with His disciples in a boat out on the water when they came into a major storm. The disciples were very afraid but Jesus, on the other hand, was asleep. When the disciples woke Him up to see if He could help them, Jesus got up and simply spoke to the storm, “Peace! Be still.” And the seas were calm again. When difficult times come, you don’t have to be overwhelmed by the waves of worry or fear. Just as Jesus stood up and spoke to the storm, you have power in your words, too. God has given you His authority to declare peace over your home, over your mind, and over your family. Remember, no matter what storms may come against you, God lives on the inside of you. How you handling the storms of life?
