Now picture yourself in that storm out on a lake in a small boat. No matter how hard you row, you just can\u2019t make any headway against the wind and waves. Panicked, you\u2019ve tried everything, yet nothing seems to help. Now you\u2019ve nowhere else to turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus was tired from teaching the crowds all day. As evening approached he told his disciples to get in a boat with him and cross over to the other side of the lake where they could rest. Finding a pillow, Jesus laid down at the back of the boat and began to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, a storm rose up and waves began to break into the boat until it was almost full of water. Frantically, they woke him up, shouting, \u201cTeacher, don\u2019t you even care that we are going to drown?\u201d When he woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the water, \u201cBe still.\u201d Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was great calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he asked them, \u201cWhy are you so afraid? Do you still not have faith in me?\u201d And they were filled with awe that even the winds and waves obeyed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What storms of life do you face today? Maybe it&#8217;s the coronavirus and its downstream effects. Take heart, Jesus is not sleeping in the back of the boat! Call on him and he will lead you beside still waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"907\" height=\"607\" data-attachment-id=\"2295\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.halmoran.com\/?attachment_id=2295\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.halmoran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HMoran_8849-rain.jpg?fit=907%2C607&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"907,607\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Hal Moran 636.288.4130&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1475214178&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hmoran_8849-rain\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.halmoran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HMoran_8849-rain.jpg?fit=907%2C607&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.halmoran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HMoran_8849-rain.jpg?resize=907%2C607&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.halmoran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HMoran_8849-rain.jpg?w=907&amp;ssl=1 907w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.halmoran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HMoran_8849-rain.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What was the worst storm you have ever experienced?
