The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante... -
If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

The Master of the Storm

But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water. They came to him, and awoke him, saying, 'Master, master, we are dying!' He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm. He said to them, 'Where is your faith?' Luke 8:23 WEB
Who is going to tell Him? They had put it off as long as possible, but now the water was getting pretty deep inside the boat and someone had to wake Jesus up. It is not easy to ask for help, especially for men, but as the water grew deeper and they began to sink, they worked that out.
Earlier the ministry group had set sail across the lake in their fishing boat, and Jesus fell asleep. The disciples were navigating the boat all by themselves. After all, some of them were fishermen and they knew all about boats. Peter and the others probably felt pretty good about this and thought that they had it all under control, nothing but smooth sailing ahead.
They probably thought, "No problem, we have done this a thousand times', but suddenly, a storm came up and the boat began filling with water. The group was in great danger and began to panic, but Jesus, slept on. When they finally woke Jesus with, 'Master, Master, we are dying!' He calmed the storm for them.
Will Jesus let you struggle against a storm in your own strength? Apparently so, but they only needed to ask for His help to change the situation. James said, 'You do not have, because you do not ask" (James 4:2).
If a storm is raging in your life and your faith is not strong enough to stop it: call on Jesus, The Master of the Storm. Do not assume that He will step in and calm everything without you inviting Him in. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20). He does not beat down your door, but if you ask, He just may help you today. You can worry about it, or pray about it and let God help you.
Prayer: Father I know that You are the Master of the storm. Let Your winds blow me to where I need to be. Bring Your peace to my life and let me walk in the goodness of God Almighty. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

I really needed to be reminded of this as I am working on within me a new storm that has not passed.
You are my savior Lord. I’m trusting in you. Praise God. Amen.
Dear Father God, I trust you with every breath of my being; although there are times when I am fearful, and very much in doubt of myself, I know that you are always with me. I woke up this morning with such uncertainty; I look to you for continued strength and pray that no matter what happens I must continue to stay strong in my faith and be assured that as long as I breath, this life means nothing without you by my side ALWAYS! Thank you for this day and for the love and compassion you give me everyday! In Jesus Christ your most Precious Son I pray, Amen!!
