Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!" Matthew 8:23-27
Our lives are like this boat on the lake. As we sail through life there will be "storms" that threaten to overtake us. In those times, it sometimes seems like the Lord doesn't even care. He's just a distant God who is sleeping through those storms while we face them alone. But this story shows that our Lord is with us in the boat at all times. He is the Lord that we can call on for help, and He will answer. He'll always be there to calm the storm.
