“Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.There were also other boats with him.  A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.  Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” – Mark 4:36-40

During this storm in my life I have moments of feeling afraid, anxious, sad, angry etc. But most of the time I have such a calmness. It’s like before the thoughts can even attack me, before the thrust of the storm can sweep in and overtake me, God says “Quiet! Be still!” Have faith. After every phone call, every test, every report – I have faith. Our salvation is based on faith so why shouldn’t my healing! This storm is not who I am.

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
