> Sometimes God lets the chaos come.

> What is God wanting to show us in the chaos?

"For the deep darkness of the night troubles them, hovering like smoke on the raging waves and taking away any ability for navigation. The fierce winds, riding on the waves with a rushing sound that raises the billows high above their heads, had to trouble them more than a little bit. Yes, and through all of this, John records, “Jesus was not yet with them.” This was the real danger, and Christ’s absence from these voyagers was making their fear grow more and more."
- Cyril of Alexandria

> When Jesus is with you, you don’t have to be afraid.

> The One who can walk on water won’t let you drown.

“The gospel tells me I can’t fix myself. The gospel tells me I can’t protect myself. But the gospel tells me I can rest, knowing that Jesus walked into this broken, sad, scary place to rescue me and love me and cast out my fear. And He did and He does and He will.”

> Expect Jesus’ comforting word in the storm.
