5.1-The more you know and trust your Father in heaven the more you can be at peace in the storms of life.
Mark 4.
41 They were in absolute awe, staggered. “Who is this, anyway?” they asked. “Wind and sea at his beck and call!”
9-12 I call to you, God; all day I call.
I wring my hands, I plead for help.
35-38 Late
that day he said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side.” They
took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm
came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it. And Jesus
was in the stern, head on a pillow, sleeping! They roused him, saying,
“Teacher, is it nothing to you that we’re going down?”
39-40 Awake
now, he told the wind to pipe down and said to the sea, “Quiet! Settle
down!” The wind ran out of breath; the sea became smooth as glass. Jesus
reprimanded the disciples: “Why are you such cowards? Don’t you have
any faith at all?”41 They were in absolute awe, staggered. “Who is this, anyway?” they asked. “Wind and sea at his beck and call!”
88 1-9 God, you’re my last chance of the day.
I spend the night on my knees before you.
Put me on your salvation agenda;
take notes on the trouble I’m in.
I’ve had my fill of trouble;
I’m camped on the edge of hell.
I’m written off as a lost cause,
one more statistic, a hopeless case.
Abandoned as already dead,
one more body in a stack of corpses,
And not so much as a gravestone—
I’m a black hole in oblivion.
You’ve dropped me into a bottomless pit,
sunk me in a pitch-black abyss.
I’m battered senseless by your rage,
relentlessly pounded by your waves of anger.
You turned my friends against me,
made me horrible to them.
I’m caught in a maze and can’t find my way out,
blinded by tears of pain and frustration.
