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?" (Mk 4:39-40)
The disciples were afraid of the storm, even though Jesus has power over storms. They had at least the excuse of not fully understanding who Jesus is, but we do not. When I am afraid of the future, it is because I lose sight of who Jesus is. I forget that he is with me. As John says, perfect love casts out fear. (1 Jn 4:18) Lord, remind me that you calmed the storm, and you are with me.
