From Matthew 8:24-26: “A windstorm arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He [Jesus] was asleep. And they went and woke Him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ And He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’ Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm.”
Threatened again by life’s turbulent storms
Feeling life adrift, outside of God’s norms
Feelings of uncertainty rise and bubble up
Flooding hearts with doubt, an empty cup
Walking life’s endless road challenges us
Experiencing feelings of fear, never a plus
Darkness quietly creeps into our peaceful place
Feeling alone, faith weakens from our daily race
Our God, never far away from our uncertain life walk
Replacing doubt, His Word will stand up as our rock
Our God never leaves us feeling alone at life’s curb
Growing through His love, always fulfilling and superb
Seeking our Holy God in the best of times
Finding Him in the midst of darkest climbs
Our God’s steady presence strengthens our resolve
Calming our darkest fears, they simply will dissolve
God’s love never wavers, a bright eternity to be filled
Answering prayers, restoring each soul, faith rebuilds
From the words of Christian author Lee Strobel, “Struggling with God over the issues of life doesn’t show a lack of faith–that is faith.”
