We all go through storms in life, they are all part of our worlds fallen nature dating back to when Adam and Eve sinned against God and He removed them from the garden of Eden.
We cannot let these storms direct or control our lives, in times of conflict and chaos there is but one who can calm the storms that we are in His name is Christ Jesus, I wonder do you know Him? If you have put your faith in Christ, then trust Him to see you through, it is not easy, it is not joyful, storms, conflict, and chaos hurt, and are painful but Christ will help us endure. I love this passage in Matthew, we see that once we are in the boat with Jesus, there is no turning back, we will follow Him, He never says our lives will be storm free, He just says follow me, have faith in me, I will never leave you or abandon you. Whatever storm you're in today if you are a disciple of Christ, He is there with you, He alone will help you overcome the waves as they beat on you, trust Him, stand steadfast and immovable in your faith and know that He is there and in control. God's word says this: “As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves — but Jesus kept sleeping. So the disciples came and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!” 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 great calm. The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!”” Matthew 8:23-27 CSB
